WHATS AN ENGINE WORTH?

I have in my garage a complete ph2 engine thats done around 5k, when i say complete i mean, throttle body, plenum, ex manifolds, flywheel and clutch, with plugs and injectors. whats it worth?
my plan was to use as a spare for mine working on the principle that, if you have a spare you will never break one! (good insurance) and of course its easier to change a complete engine than do a major repair in situ.
however, ideas change and thought about using it as a basis for some engine mods, without taking the car out of service, trouble is its too good to split. its better than the one in my car, so, possibly thought of trading against an older motor, or one that has gone pop as most of the work i wish to look at is in the heads and manifolds, dont really need the bottom end, any ideas!
 
I can't remember ever seeing one sold during the last 4 years on this forum.

Fortunately, the units must be pretty robust. No big demand in general.
I guess someone in a less-than-fortunate position would pay good money for it 1 day...

I would have thought "£2k (part-ex considered)", put it in Engine, Gearbox and exhausts FOR SALE section... and expect a long wait.
If it were significantly cheaper, somebody might take it off your hands as an insurance policy. :approve:

This sounds cheap, do you know if this is complete or a short engine, i would imagine its without manifolds etc.
 
All it tells me is:

NEW COMPLETE ENGINE RENAULT
ENG.L7X-762 B.V.M
Part number : 7701474604


MK 1 details:

NEW ENGINE RENAULT
MOT.L7X-760 B.V.M

Manifolds are about £170. each
 
Hey James fancy looking for a nrw plenum?
How much we talking? Nice mirror finish Hmmmmm inside and out!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
The plenum is one of those parts were it says "Your dealer does not market this part number. Please contact them for further information."

I've contacted Renault for an answer. :)
