what are these worth?

[snookes]

as some of you know my camshaft snapped on my 4.2 ajp. i'm thinking of going down the LS route, to finance this i will be selling some parts that will not be req if i go the LS route.

4.2 ajp (broken cam, new set of valves req) had induction work done by jules and was putting out 382 bhp
race proved lightweight flywheel (approx 500 miles use)
race proved slave cylinder (approx 500 miles use)
ap clutch (approx 500 miles use)
set of stainless manifolds
gearbox

what would the above be worth?

any input appreciated

thanks

4.2 ajp (broken cam, new set of valves req) had induction work done by jules and was putting out 382 bhp - I THINK ABOUT £1500 AS THERE IS RISK.
race proved lightweight flywheel (approx 500 miles use) - £200 ?
race proved slave cylinder (approx 500 miles use) - NO IDEA
ap clutch (approx 500 miles use) - £300 I GUESS
set of stainless manifolds - ARE THESE ACT? £400 ?
gearbox - £500

WHY?? surely it's cheaper to repair the AJP( actually it's cheaper to go 4.7 than the chevy conversion) and retain the originality of a classic in the wings!

Generally a full rebuild is top end work only ? A broken engine is always going to be a risk. A working one can be had for £2.5 - £3.5 K so I cant see it being worth more than £1500 myself.

Get the AJP sorted and dropped back in, it's the Heart of the Cerbera

2nd that!

[G20RG B]

If my Cerbera AJP8 required two rebuilds within 8000miles I'd be putting a LS in it also..

Fortunatley I have a speed six....

Nothing to do with it being an AJPV8 - I'd be shooting the people who did the rebuilds.

If I was even in this situation I'd be calling Andy @ APM, he's a real enthusiast and knows what he's doing, his 4.7 conversion is so tempting!

I understand the LS route, but hey it's not a true Cerb' without the AJP!

ACT Manifolds are nearly £1100 inc VAT so I'd suggest more like £600 - they're stainless, so not much is going to have happened to them.

[ridds]

Leak?

[Steve_T]

They don't crack like the standard issue items afaik.

[Gazzab]

They don't give any hp and can be a pig to fit. Afaik.

Never heard that before. Example?

[Gazzab]

I was told by a v reputable tuner about the lack of hp gains.
There was a thread on here from someone a few months ago who had to bash his to get them fit. Quite some serious bashing...?

[ridds]

And grind flanges down to get them to clear the bell housing. The flanges on ones I've seen have mostly blown. The clamp load isn't sufficient.

I'd rather a small crack by the head than a jet of gas hitting the fibreglass body.
