I bought a complete used one last year for $800 which at the time i thought was mental for a used motor, but when i sat and thought about it after a set of $60 seals, $60 worth of bearings, id still have the best part of a fresh motor, chuck a piston at it and i though thered be another 30yrs of racing in it. in the end i used a Rod and a spacer plate, but still under a grand and its all fresh again
Granted that one has some NOS stuff in it , but unless your doing some kinda resto is it a bit of an over kill to put in a racer ?
im just a bit confused, why go to all the effort of wasting NOS clutch basket etc, just to stuff it in a racer based on the differant ignition.
maybe IF it had the correct ignition etc i could see it fetching thats sort of money to the right restorer, but not with that ignition and the fact he ground the numbers off ?
I just would'nt think a restorer wouldnt go down that path. or as a racer i be thinking put the NOS stuff back inthe box and save it for a rainy day or sell it to a trainspotter who might pay enough anyway to fund the motor.
Anyway not to worry just seems a strange mix in no mans land to me, its not one or the other. FWIW id pay $1500, but id want to be sure it fired up and run with that ignition.
