MG MGA - Price for a 1600 engine block core?

A buddy of mine needs a 1600 engine block with big end caps. Its for a customer of his. What in your estimation is a fair price these days? I have what he needs just want some imput as to appraise a reasonable value. Thanks ahead of time Steve D!

Its just the bare block and end caps. Bores will clean up at .020 over.

Hard to say. When you do not need one they seem to be all over but when you need on you can't fine one. I am looking for one now and would pay 3 to 5 hundred for one but I am cheep.

3 to 5 hundred should buy you a complete engine!

I pair 100 USD for one complete with crank, con rods and pistons last year. I can normally get a 1622 rebuild candidate with head for 200 used or less

Thanks gents, Sounds within the bounds I was thinking.

Hi,

I've got a used 1600 long block in Calgary. The engine was poorly rebuilt by a local shop and needs to be sleeved ( I think) but the head is in fine shape. Let me know if you still need one and I can figure out shipping, etc. I would take $300 for it plus shipping costs...
