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? |

Hey ken,
I looked the same ad a couple days ago and here's my opinion.... Your going to have a ton of $$ in this due to the condition of everything. Had it been stored where the weather could get to it, it would be a nice deal. However, the rust on the rods is a good indicator of terrible storage location. Usually a 6 rebuild is around 6k from what I've seen and that is a bare bones rebuild assuming you have good components to start with. I would honestly look for a recently rebuilt engine, you'll have probably half the money in it after it is all said and done. Thomas |
