14k for the conversion!!!! That must be everything brand new paid at a premium price. I wouldn't even bother on my old clunker for that.
I will be looking for an engine that needs a rebuild and slowly do it up until its ready to drop in. My ZD30 still have a lot of life in it so I have time. I hope. I'm more worried about my gearbox at the moment.
@ Florix, I would be putting anything older in when I eventually go down that path. No point going backwards. I just have to convince the minister of finance and affairs that I need to buy a little shit box as my daily driver so i can garage my troll for some serious mods.
