My Grandfather had stuffed the engine in his BM. It has a shattered rocker arm and damaged piston that he has been quoted a minimum of $3000 to have fixed. On top of that the engine is just plain worn out anyway and the auto box is not changing down as it should and making very rough up shifts.
It’s probably only worth $4,000 all fixed up or $1,000 with stuffed engine but he has just spent a fair bit getting dints and damaged paint fixed, new shocks and bushes, brakes and tyres.
I am thinking it might be a better option to re power it with an RB20DE or RB25DE auto.
How much so you think this could be done for?
Im guessing some were between $1500 and $2000 for the engine pack / half cut and probably another $2000 of so for it to be put in maybe less.
It would just be a basic re powering not a performance conversion so could use the stock exhaust and radiator and would not require any of the normal intercooler pipe work so should be reasonably cost effective.
