Default Bit of pricing help please!!
Just wanting some advice on some parts im looking at purchasing. I gotta make an offer on this stuff within a few days.

AU HP head (no vct) off an AU XR, low klms, complete ready to bolt on. Never been shaved or anything.

Also a LSD diff centre out of an AU (no housings or axles) for borg warner, including pinion and everything. 3.55 RATIO?? Something close anyhow. Near new with all new carrier bearings, pinion bearings & collapisable spacer thing..... Good condition.

Dont really have too much of a clue on the 2nd hand values, any help appreciated! All from a trusted buyer....
Thanks,

-Danny

Ring around a few wreckers etc, maybe even ford and check out what they have to say. You may even find it cheeper somewhere else.

Has the seller given you an indication or anything about what he want for it?

Get in touch with Darren Green at Ferntree Gully Auto Salvage (03) 9758 6900 www.ftgautosalvage.com.au he should be able to tell you what they are really worth.

You can get new LSD, put into your existing diff for about $350. Then if you want different gears, add another $750. So thats $1100, drive in drive out, with any gears you want, including LSD.

You may find a Tickford Head, would be around $1000. There is one on ebay, fully rebuilt for 1.5k. Personally, go a JMM Head for $1500.

You may find one from a wreckers for around $500-1000 though.
