Hello,

My triumph TR7 has seen better days and the body needs to much work for me, I'm thinking of stripping it but don't know where to start. its a tuned 3.5 cross bolted engine with ported heads, manifold and cam. Made 255bhp. I hear the engines are rare. Where do I stary with a price?

Many thanks.[/img]

Not sure mate worth what someone is willing to pay, but you are right the 3.5 x-bolted blocks are the rarest, and sought after for forced induction applications. For reference, about 5-6yrs ago I had an xbolted block that I bought/sold for £350.

Depends what else you have in the engine in terms of pistons/rods etc.

A set of stage 3 heads should be worth about £4-500 on their own complete.

As a complete engine I would say it's worth at least a grand, maybe much more. If you do sell it on ebay etc, don't forget to use the words TVR / Morgan / Kit Car in the title as it'll get more attention lol.

Thanks for reply.

It's got ported big valve 4.6 style heads, ported offy manifold, crower 232 cam, uprated pushrods, rhoads lifters, balanced bottom end with piston pockets, 11:1 compression ratio, Malory dizzy with msd ignition.

Maybe I'll keep it for a future project.

Sounds like a great build should be worth a good few grand!
