Can't see it'll make what it's worth. Very cheap if it stays near that money.

I had a c16xe fresh rebuild with arp rod bolts, dastek and s genuine mantzel inlet. I split that engine and make close to 1k.
This is a bargain at that price, the itb's alone should be around that

I split mine, very similar spec to Andys but with dry sump and steel crank and made a lot more than that! And I still have a complete head here!

I split my forged 2.0 engine for well over 1k and it was mashed (head and pistons had chewed up two dropped guides)

It is indeed Andys engine
I know he's spent WELL over £10k on that engine, and a lot of years development.
Got that on video at 135mph, and also accelerating from standstill into the distance. Sounded fantastic
He did mention a year or so back he was thinking of finally splitting/selling up
Fantastic buy for someone with available cash.
