How much would it cost for a Mx5 mk1 engine?

[wassap]

Hey Folks

I know there are a few MX5 owners here so i thought ask here before an OC forum!, Ive spotted a MX5 on a P Plate with a knackered head, the car is cheap and has decent roof and rot free body, but its the 1.6 variant, im just wondering how much it would cost for a s/h 1.6 lump.

Other question is, how much work would I have to do to drop the 1.8 lump into the car?

Between £50 and £300, so in other words very very cheap.

Not sure on the 1.8 Conversion, just buy a cheap 1.8 in the first place so you get the LSD etc.

Might have a look for a 1.8, this is costing me 500 notes, and worst case scenario im looking at another 300 notes for the engine, i might be able to 'salvage' the head, but I wont know for sure until I get it and strip it down. A 95 plate car still seem s to be fetching £1500 otr at the very least.

Its a 95 N, I reckon that has the lower power 1.6?
