What about the bust casing? Replacement? Sure wont be fixed.
Yup it will need the caseings and thats something like £10 k there .. my point is if you cant find a second hand engine then its either a rebuild if possible or a new engine / scrapping the car .
engine R&R is a labour charge either way so only paying extra for the strip .
Something like £18k for an engine ? depending on what year .. early ones then 30 k ? .. probably a lot more than that that with out an exchange .. and thats not going to be an exchange unit !
