Just look on eBay and see how much an engine costs then allow for oil and filter, antifreeze, spark plugs and a couple of gaskets if its a twin cam, if your fitting 16g do you need an adapter plate?

I picked up a good Baleno motor for £80, got the adapter from Rob Storr, the top gearbox bolts from Suzuki and modified the oil pick up and engine mount myself; it must have cost less than £200 all in. I reckon it was much better off-road as you needed less throttle and less revs so it was a lot more controllable.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.
