Cost of an engine conversion 1.2-2.0

I know your all thinking don't do it but I'm just query that's all on how much it actually costs to do like everything the whole swap?

I don't know the exact price. But it would vary a lot on whether you would do it yourself or pay a garage to do it.

Also what quality. You could smack an engine and box in, but would you do the brakes etc as well? It would vary on what standard you would want.

Essentially, it's cheaper to by a 1*2 and then shove 1.2 bumpers on it if you really want a sleeper.

As above, depends how far you go.

You need more than the engine imo - running gear for one (brakes/suspension).

Yeah not worth it especially when you can bet 172's sub £1k.

There's only one reason someone would carry out this conversation now that actual 172s are so cheap to buy.

Add up how much it costs to buy all the parts you need.

Call a garage and ask them how much to do the work.

Add these two numbers together.

Because they've started their own insurance company ?

I'll be the first to say it then: bellend. :smile:

That is of course, if I am reading your post how you imply it.

FLOL.

No, you don't.

OP - when you say you need one for insurance purposes, do you mean you need a value to insure it under? Hence understanding the cost?

Or do you mean you intend to not declare it on insurance?

I think one summons the Lockadile, whereas the other does not

OP - on the basis of this, and the fact you're obviously not averse to a bit of insurance fraud, I'll leave this to be found but it's getting locked.

If you start another thread on it, you'll get points. I personally think anyone who undertakes insurance fraud is a complete wrister, but crack on by all means.
