Sorry I thought you meant the engine as a whole, ie. with head. | |

Hmmm in that case I think I should find someone that works for Vauxhall and get me a few C20XEs then at cost price! :lol: | |

If it were me, I would just get a second hand C20XE complete with gearbox and get the engine rebuilt, be much cheaper than buying everything new/nearly new from Vauxhall, even at trade price! | |

I reckon nearer £3k for everything including driveshafts, gearbox, plus all the little bits here and there, washer bottle, resevoirs etc etc!!! | |

I don't think the block is brand new, surely it's reconditioned? As far as I know, the C20XE has ceased production years ago! | |

Yes i was about to mention that. i was reading on MIG and that price is for the block only. No loom, no manifolds, no nothing. | |

not got the engine yet, but the local vaux garage said there £1500 new, give or take a few £££'s for delivery and some other costs. Worth it though IMO, saves getting something with thousands of miles on & no clue to its history 99% of the time! | |

where did you get the brand new c20xe? must have cost you a right penny all that! | |

Time for me to take my car off the road for a whopping 12 MONTHS!!! to have a completely brand new C20XE bought, butchered, and then put in my car along with some other bits, new interior, 6 speed 'box... Should keep me busy!! Still looking for a garage I can hire out to store the car in and do the work a bit at a time, so its rotting on my drive as we speak! :lol: |
