I was checking out CL today, and I found a '71 2.2 not too far away. From the pics, it looks like the carbs are included, but the motor is disassembled. They are asking $1000. I have never rebuilt a motor, so I don't know what to look for other than the obvious (hole in the side of the case, blue bearings, bent rods or push rods, etc.)
Assuming that I could talk the guy down to $700 - 800, would this be a decent deal if it looks rebuildable? |

IMO $1000 is kinda steep. Unless the carbs are webers and not the zeniths. T, E or S? HUGE difference!! Different cams, crank, rods, P/Cs and heads. All are great engines but have different values.
You can pay $1000 and have a pile of junk which nothing is salvagable. Or you can pay $1000 and have an engine that just needs a gasket kit, assembly and vroom vroom. So option A is a waste of money. Option B is an awesome deal. This engine is probably somewhere in the middle. You have to ask yourself. Do you feel lucky? Why was it disassembled? Because something was broken or worn? If so, what? Are P/Cs within spec or do they need to be replaced? Heads need to be rebuilt? |
