As per title I Will shortly be selling (in the for sale Bit) a 1275 turbo engine

The Turbo and head are already gone.

I would like an idea of what the bits left are worth.

I.e Crank, Gear box, Block, pistons, the little turbo oil return dooh dah on back of block
the gear Box looks Perfect and has a 3.2 diff.

the engine was rebuilt and only did a few miles Very clean inside no wear on the timing tensioner!,
The flywheel looks like new, including back plate
There is a duplex timing chain
electronic dizzy (i have been told turbo dizzys are differant to normal ones)
The crank Is marked CAM 6581

Or a price for the whole lot?

sure more will come to mind !


Thanks everyone

alot of people use standard N/A 1275 parts, theres not alot of difference.
Theres the difference of opinion on cranks, most of the high power motors on here use the CAM 6232.

When you say the engine has been rebuilt, what does this entail? full rebuild and rebore? or simply new bearings and rings?
