It cost me about 7-8000 for the basic conversion, but that is doing it all yourself and I already had the metros in.

| Post subject: | 4EFTE Conversion Cost Approx |
Howdy I bought a 72 Clubman and the engine is currently sitting in pieces and I dont know what type it is, so I was wondering seeing as its going to cost me $2-3K to get it back in good nick, how much would a conversion set me back. I know brakes are going to be $1500-2000 but I was thinking of doing that anyway. How much would a conversion cost by an engineer in Sydney area?? and who are the good ones. |

It all depends on how far you want to go and how much you want to do yourself. There is a lot of work.. Subframe, Halfcut, Driveshafts, Brakes, Engineering, Wiring, Fuel Lines, Exhaust... There is a massive range in what people spend by looking on here anywhere from 5000+ i would budget 10k for a fairly basic conversion. |

Bloke in Sydney charges something like $4k just for motor in I thought (someone please correct me). Unfortunately, if its a conversion you desire, AND CAN'T DO IT YOURSELF, you are going to be up for bucketloads. $1500 front cut $3000 frame (ish), you would be fortunate if this included alternator bracket and gearchanger modification $500 drivehafts $ Radiator $ brake and clutch lines $ electrical $1500 - $2000 is too much for brakes. A refurbished set of metro's can be had for $500-$600. |

Nope I think Mr ENforcer is still taking mini's.... He is Approx asking 10k drive in drive out... But That was my guess at a figure... You would have to call him to get a exact... Depends on the hundreds of lil extra's you want.. |
