Hello all
One of my friends as a 3500 Huntsman in lovely condition but no longer has original engine
the original engine has resurfaced but is in a very sorry state and would need a complete rebuild and even then not sure if it would be ok
It suffered a camshaft failure and a two inch piece ended up in the sump also damaging the crank and one main bearing cap
So would the cost of rebuild outway any increase in value as on the log book it does not state if engines have been changed in the past
my car has its original engine and the only way I found out was with a copy of the original registration document for its first road Tax in 1970 which has the engine number on it and the chassis number and engine number don't match apart from the first three digits
cheers Roy
