Yeah, i reckon it would be. Think you do well to get between £600-700.

New engine could be picked up for between £200 - £300, i think. Someone will either confirm or refute that later.

Just got to consider the hassle of getting it home and fitted into the frame.

If i were you i'd consider lining up a replacement and, if you have time, sell your current curvy for parts?

Just a thought. Keep us posted with what you end up doing, hope you get it sorted.

EDIT: Have you thought about sorting out your current engine, or is it completely FUBAR'd?
