I will be doing my diesel swap later this year and will have for sale a 4.2 EFI 1997 engine, with fuel tank & gas set up. Motor runs very well.

Appreciate any help with what price to put on it. Anyone interested the car is at Wodonga so you can have a drive if you like.

thanks
Johno

Thought it might run a bit more than that, sold a head a few years back to a wrecker for $200.00, guess he must have had a sale lined up.

cheers

I would have sold it complete, all electrics, gas gear. etc My thoughts were around $1000.00 would be fair

Hi mate,

Depends on alot of thing you havent mentioned.... well to me it does.

How many Km's?
What kind of gas gear? ie - gas research with b2 converter?

The other hassle may be you location - the more remote you are from major centres, the more hassle.

I live in newcastle - about 1.5hours from sydney. I think nothing of driving down to sydney for something.... but sydney people think newcastle is too far away.... :D

cheers

Not more than $500

It's not a highly sought after engine....would be worth alot more if it was a TD42

Sounds like I would be better to wreck the engine out and sell in parts

cheers
