Sorry to hear the news mate. I had an engine blow, picked up a second hand one with under 30k mileage from Dewsbury auto salvage for £600. I would recommend viewing the engine first though to make sure it is all in good repair.

Or you could always whack in a supra engine!

I'd strategically place bits of the engine around the house - just to make sure she never forgets. laugh.gif
