1970 Norton 750S Engine - Whats it worth $

Grandpaul, every time i see your bike i stop to view it, for me it's just the Daddy! But i think the speedo/taco is a bit to low,and the headlamp pretrudes just a tad to far....but other than that is bloody great :mrgreen:

I've sold three complete engines (with tranny & primary) for $1,000 each.

All three needed total overhaul.

I've also bought two complete engines for $1,000 each.

Turned out one of those two is still just fine, with e-start; it's in this bike till I build the VR880 engine...

Ok hobot will take the engine and gearbox in cradle kit for $1000 cash total to cover shipping. I was laughed at and put down as "easy money" fool very meanly by all knowing wise crackers on several lists before this one after I bought a ready to use standard 750 28.5 mm head for $450 off ebay back in 2001 but it turned out to be one of Peel secret hi velocity ingredients and still ready to go again when factory Trixie's head gets too worn out so will have to use some discipline not to twist up AMC main shaft again. I sworn off any more big mechanical projects for rest of my life time but to scab up a righteous chopper would be easy as pie to be thrown at.

If I had $1,000 play money last week, it would be sitting in my garage by now.
