Dino engine

What is the approx. price for a running 2,4 ltr. Fiat Dino engine?

Pim,

A Fiat Dino engine on its own is worth less than half of a Ferrari engine and gearbox in a similar condition. It's the Ferrari Dino gearbox that you want. A Fiat Dino engine is no use to you without the gearbox/diff.

So for a rough idea:

Fiat 2400 (engine only) £2,500 to £4,500
Ferrari 246 engine and box £7,500 to £10,000
Ferrari 308 engine and box £5,500 to £8,000
Alfa "306" engine and box £6.99 !! (or two for a tenner)

That's assuming the engines have plenty of life left in them?

Here's a 2.4:

and a non authentic 2.0

Great looking cars in any case. I'd just be worried about the rust and they're a bit of big old heavy bus?
