iv found an xe engine that i mite by an iv bin quoted £500 - £800 to fit it do you think that would be an alright price?
an if i got it would 2 people be able to lift it into a van or would i need a cran?

[tse_corsa]

i think i was told they way about 150kg so best bet is a crane

 

[jim610]

thats guna be a problem then my boss is guna lend me his van an my mates lending me the money.

 

[dearing5]

i hope you an your mates are strong lads then lol!

 

[jim610]

well there will be three people including the bloke i by the engine off.i just got quoted £700 to insure it i thought that was quite cheap.

 

[tse_corsa]

Bear in mind you will need a fitting kit for it. Luckily for you, being a gold member you get good discounts from chrisastleymotosport on that sort of stuff.

 

[jim610]

im just looking into the fitting kits at the moment.i forgot about the discount.

Have a word with Mark (moderator on here), he's clued up on the Redtop conversions.

 

[jim610]

im just seeing if i can use my mates garage to store it for a week or 2 if i can im guna by it.

 

[dearing5]

class, good luck mate!

What's the milage of the engine and how much are you paying for it?

That one is fantastic value if it really is genuine 30,000miles. It will be like new.

 

[jim610]

i no prob got more than 30,000 miles tho.i rang him he recons its bin out the car for 3-4 months now.

 

[Lee]

Try and get a few months guarantee with it aswell.

 

[jim610]

im not getting the one off ebay now.iv just applyed for a loan and if i get it im booking it in to jam sport to get a recon 2l xe fitted with bigger breaks in about 2-3 weeks hopfully.

 

[Lee]

How much is that going to set you back? And does it include the full fitting kit?

 

[jim610]

about 2000 all fitted on the road he said it will take a week two get the engine an parts an a week two fit it .
