I have been looking at the idea of an Aston Powerplant, but despite rough DBS V8 cars going for 8- 10k the engines still hold good money. Best I have been offered is one requiring a recon for 4K, I looked into getting it overhauled and the parts cost is painful to say the least, runners seem to command 6k plus, but are normally high mileage. Race versions of the engine are 10k plus!

It seem to take a lot for an Aston to be stripped! and parts sold off.

It would be a nice option. I would leave the carbs on though, just for the retro look, and the constant fettling.

Cheers
