8v's, about £100 for just the engine (no box, loom, ecu etc) as they are the same as the 1.4 mpi found in mk3 astra's.
16v's about £250/300 for the same bare engine.

Yea that is an option, local scrappies round here are absolutly sh1te so itd have to be a big breakers yard.
Thing is surely the price asked by them will exceed that of someone selling after say a conversion like Venom is?

Put a wanted out on a find a part service.
www.findapart.co.uk
If you get the complete lot for £350 you can sell the box etc to make a fair bit of money back.

Hmm interesting, is there much demand for the 1.4sri box etc then? or am i just better off looking for the engine alone, although in reality i dont imagine people are gonna be selling the engine alone unless they are a breakers yard as the sri box is not compatible with the most favoured XE conversion is it? might be wrong there, looks like ill keep an eye out for whatevers going around then probs engine box and rest.
Cheers for your help
