What is a FAIR price to ask for my BPT engine

Postby mk1corty » Thu Nov 07, 2013 12:59 pm

Thinking of offering the setup out of my MK1 Cortina but not sure FAIR price to ask

BPT from impport Familia
RX7 5speed gearbox
Big T25/T28 roller on aftermarket manifold
Cam angle sensor, Microtech LT10-S

Intake manifold has been turned to face correct way for north/south setup

blah blah anyway I'm unlikely to finish it so thinking of selling. Microtech has never been wired up even (is programmed ready to go by Mazfix)

Woah nice! Would be great for an MX5 1.8 swap.

The engine; stock internals or built?

Which RX7 gearbox? You using an adapter plate?

Unfortunately needs an mx5 oil pump and mx5 sump to clear the mx5 subframe.
So that won't directly fit.

What manifold is that?

But to answer your original question, I think you would be much better off selling everything separately.

I forget what series RX7 box it is but no adapter plate

Manifold is standard one with ends flipped

Engine internals are stock

You've already done a heap of work on this - why not give it to Dann or one of the other turbo boys on here and get them to finish it off. Looks like a really clean MK1 - and it would be worth way more finished than in parts I reckon.

Understood - what I was suggesting is that you enlist some help in finishing the work you've started - it's unlikely you will recoup the cost of your labour in the sale of the BPT parts, and the package is pretty much a perfect match for the car.

Yes I may do that or just leave it in shed for few more years.

So busy with the Falcons at the moment though

if I do decide to advertise it would $2700 be fair?

The bpt was pretty much a 'built' engine anyway. Okibi has a spec on the forum.

Use logic. Use what it cost you. If no takers go from there.
