Default ERST Engine

ive just been to look at an ERST engine at my local ford breakers,it looks mint,but i didnt get chance to hear it running,the guy said i can have every thing i need to put it into my 3i for 650quid,it looks asthough its had a shite load of money spent on it.

but wot i want to know,is it worth it?how much should i be looking to spend on a ERST engine?

I'd say about Ł400, but if that really does include EVERYTHING that's a good price

If you're doing a transplant though, use it to build a ZVH

FRST engine would be better though 'cos it's EFi, then just listen to it chatter
