It's my birthday and I can cry if I want too.

I have seen this on ebay. Only a few miles from me and I have a trailer that should just about hold the weight of it!
How much is it worth?
how easy is it to do an engine swap?
would it be ok or the fact it has only done a few hours on a bench be an issue with rusting inside?

if i were you i would spend the money on making the engine and everything good because then you will have a good runner that you will be able to keep for along time, thats what i would do
good luck in getting it sorted
cheers kieran

he cant say a new head just from the temp going up , get it tested and or even skimmed . might be alot cheaper than sourcing a head, iff the head is removed youll see iff there is any damage to the pistons or any thing but to be honest you would have to really have to cook it to damage a piston, did or was it runnig on 4 cyls when you pulled up . did it restart when it had cooled down, dont just right it off.. alan...

Wouldnt know if it was running on 4 or 1 tbh. It did restart when RAC man arrived and revved well with more water in and the temp guage sat on normal. There was alot of bubbles in the rad tank but I think that was the air coming out the system? It wouldnt start once I got home off the lorry though.
