I have a H26 Engine that has done less that 20,000 since the conversion, i am considering selling it as a package

Engine + ECU (for the fuel maps).

I have 2 questions

What it is worth?

Would anyone be interested in it.

It is fast, i believe it is either 193 or 197 RWHP with the chip. Hot cam skimmed head, higher compression engine, with the usual internals that go with a Hartge pistons/rings. No Hartge manifold. Or rocker cover, but all the power. I will confirm how many miles since the upgrades was completed.

Oh and please no PM's asking me to swap it for peanuts or sell it for change. Engine starts and runs fine and sounds good.

Cheers

Kaz

It will have one cam, singular and it will NOT have 193 / 197 RWHP . To be worth any more than a stock engine , you will need pics and receipts.

edit - I have the paper work somewhere it is DEFINITLY over 190, I went back to birds and had another chip installed that took it over 190. So no issue there. I can prove it for any potential buyer.

power will be at the flywheel and it will have less power without the manifold.

There is something deeply erotic about the sight of a quattroporte on its death bed ! :D
