Price for engine fitment

[OllieB]

Anyone have a rough(ish) idea of

A)How much a recon 2.5 M20 would cost

and

B)How much it would cost to get it fitted

I'm talking fitting it to a sport so I assume there aren't the issues with the loom etc, also I'm in the south so the nearer the better, any help would massively appreciated guys.....

Any idea of a ballpark figure mate? Don't need it doing yet, maybe I'm just being paranoid but I'm sure I can hear the onset of a bottom end death rattle. Having a rough idea of replacement costs would be good for peace of mind....

GET AN M50 LUMP!!
you know it makes sense!

Like the idea of it, but surely much more of a mission to fit than just dropping in another M20? Also I can't imagine it doing the resale value of my car any good, (Got my boring sensible head on today.... )

I personally would buy a good M50 conversion E30 over any M20 engined car

How does the cost and difficulty compare between the 2?

As with OllieB, I would have to pay someone else to do the job as im not very mechanically minded.

Think it cost me about a grand to rebuild my engine which included everything except crank, rods, pistons, cam, rockers and valves if that's any help
