I am hoping you could please help me as I have got no idea of cost.

I'm firstly trying to decided on an engine combination, the only thing that I have made a firm decsion on is it is going to be supercharged. What I have decided on is what engine

My first really dumb questions is what is the cost of a rebuilt; (Including transmission)

1. 998 ?

2. 1100

or 3. 1275 (+)


Thanks Guys

You are not obliged to say or do anything, but anything you don't say will be made up anyway, so don't say anything at all.

Simple Answer it all depends on what is provided and what condition its in!

the differnace between 998/1098 and a 1275 is not a great deal except for the above.

Super Charging well at leat add another 1 1/2 to 2k ontop

simple but the only real answer other tahn taking it to 3 or 4 Engine Builders and not seeing what is to be provided

Don't forget the gearbox rebuild, with diff and u/j rebuild can be up to 2K plus if done right, again, depends how bad the box is.

Even a pro can't put a price on it till it is all apart.

Prices from Miniparts

1275 A+ Semi Reco & Gearbox $3999 (exchange)
998 Semi Reco & Gearbox $3500 (exchange)
1100 Semi Reco & Gearbox $3500 (exchange)
For a fully reconditioned engine/gearbox you're looking at $4500-$6000 exchange, the difference being more new parts are put into it than a semi reco one.

Ok, so now the dumb question, what is a semi reco??

Is it similar to the 'special' reco's some of the dodgy's in Sydney do, ie coat of paint and a few banana peels in the sump with some 90wt oil?

If doing an upgrade like a supercharger you would want it to be a strong motor. It might be fun driving around with a 'grenade' motor but it will soon enough cost you a packet when it blows cause it will destroy alot of useful items in the process!
