Havent got a clue...

Our survey says?

I dunno.. no way of telling..

What do you want to do with it?

I take it you probably want to fit it to your car?

If so then youl need a lot of work to get it to fit plus you need to find a gearbox and custom mounts plus a lot of effort to buy the radiator suspension etc to handle the extra weight.

172 engines arnt that expensive realy second hand ones can be got for £500~800 depending on whats included condition etc. Iyts the other bits which add up.

 

[Jones]

suppose you could go and do a compression test on it that would give you a clue as to its condition

I would say the because the guy has 0 feedback you should approch this with extream cation.

Its a risk you take buying stuff privately - i sell them at £750 but offer a 3 month guarantee - or a BRAND NEW unit at £1250. If its a transplant you want i can sell you a 172 kit for £1500
