may have found a replacement motor for my van.

just wondering what a good running 1100s motor is worth ?

How long is a piece of string.

The cost will vary greatly depending on how the motor has been built.

You have to consider
- Head- what is it? whats been done to it?
- Cam- what is it?
- Gearbox- is it good? What is it? 3 syncro, 4syncro, rod or remote?
- How long ago was the motor built? When was it last run?
- Who built it? What parts did they use?

The cost of a decent 1275 motor in good running condition is about $3000
I had my motor rebuilt including the box for a tad over $4000, that does not include purchasing the motor and box in the first place. And its a fairly mild motor.

So to answer your question. Anywhere between $1000 and $10000.

2 or 3k i reckon.

The last complete 1100S motor I purchased was on ebay and I paid $450 for it. They are not as rare and valable as everyone makes out them to be.

Complete A+ 1275s are still available from various importers, they sell for around $1000/$1200 depending on how greedy the seller is.

rebuilder A+ $1000 to $1300 talk to josh.

i think running about 1500 to 1800. A+ maybe $2,500

dunno at a guess.

thanks for all the replies.going to have a look & drive of the car tomorrow.

I paid $1400 for a running in the car donk. I took it for a test drive before I pulled it out and it is a decent motor. It has a KAD quick shift, twin carbies, Gemini starter, pulsar dizzy and a few other goodies.
I thought it was a very good deal at that price so I grabbed it. I'd say any 1275cc donk on a rear box in half decent condition is worth around 1k, something ready to bolt in and run would be around 2-3k. If it has some really good stuff on it or it's over bored and making decent power that could be up to 5k and more.

what carby did these come out with from the factory ?

1100S had a single HS4. Same manifold as the late 998 Clubby or 1275LS.

Is the body good? The car runs ok? Please don't wreck another 1100 just for a 1275

There are precious few running examples now! Just get an A+ donk, and it will be newer to boot...

Cheers

Didn't the 1275 LS have a different manifold? I wouldn't know, mine come with twins and LCB's...

_________________

I've got a couple of 1275LS at work, the manifolds look the same to me.
One has had an HIF44 bolted onto the manifold with the 2 original studs only.

A+ motors from 198? on in UK got a different one, with an HIF44 carb.

1275 LS & 1275 Moke manifolds had a larger exhaust outlet, pipe & clamp.

looking at ebay this seems to be about right. But who knows if they sell or not? I never get the time to watch the auctions till they end.

But that said, I got a whole running, close to roadworthy car with 1100S motor for $3500.

I generally pay anything between $400 to maybe $1000 (at a stretch).
