Default cost of a mk1 Focus RS engine?

does anyone know roughly what i'd be looking at paying for a complete mk1 Focus RS engine, basically as it drops out the car with all loom, ecu & ancillaries etc?

Or anyone seen what kind of prices a complete but smashed car fetches?

There was complete running gear going for £1000 on ebay last week I think? Or near enough. I don't think you can use the ECU as it's linked to the clocks etc... and can't be taken car to car. Could be wrong though.

I've seen a bare engine go for £600.

The one on ebay was a good deal as it was engine, clutch, box, turbo, manifolds etc...

I've seen a couple go for £1000 with the turbo which isn't bad.

Good value really when you consider the cost of making even the most basic of Zetec Turbo engines yourself.
