Correct me if I'm wrong but , from the heading on your post and the list of parts, you really have nothing ( no offense, just an observation). there are some parts in your list that you would be able to sell to raise money for other parts. 2.0 core heads are worth about $150-250 a pair depending on condition The only parts that will get you close is the 1.7 stuff, but there's no crank or rods. Remember this, build it with junk and you'll get junk back. Even the cheapest rebuild is giong to run you about 1K(and definetly more) by the time you get all machining done( yes it's nessacary) and buy all the relpacement parts. you might be better off finding a used, running engine. If anything, that will give you a good core for a rebuild. Keith |
