How much is an AJP block worth?

[jammy_basturd]

Had a bit of interest in the block I have, but no idea how to value it as they don't seem to come up for sale very often.

It's an early '97 4.2 AJP block, with crank, rods, pistons and sump. Needs new liners, one new piston + rings and would need new bearings.

£125 ??

Is that a guess, or because you want to buy a cheap AJP block?

A friend of mine recently sold his old block to TVR Dean for £250, so thats a good starting point.

I have spare heads cams timing chain pumps. We should make a complete engine .

Not sure look on tvr powers page at brand new part prices and gauge on your condition from there?

Was that just the block, or included pistons, crank, etc?

It was my old bottom end, so yes block complete with crank pistons the lot, only part missing was water oil and steering pump assemblie.

The water oil and steering pump assemblie on its own is worth that.
