Stev0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) not so much a technical query, but those were built by cosworth right? how much are these blocks worth (bare) these days, and how widely available are they?

rutts Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 only the 2.4 manta 400 cylinder head was made/developed by cosworth for opel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) The blocks should be quite easy to find here in the UK as they were fitted to the Vauxhall Frontera 4x4 and you can usually find someone breaking one :-) They fitted them in the German version but not sure where else they exported them to? The heads go for quite a bit in germany (just the standard 2.4 head) but i dont think the blocks are worth much as most of them will need a re-bore and new pistons if they are high milage. And the pistons are a bit expensive. So i dont expect the block is worth much unles its a very low milage one.

Stev0 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys.. I was just wondering if i should make mine into a coffee table or sell.. What are the telltale signs of a 400 block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
