Is there any point in me keeping my X12XE engine to split and sell? Otherwise I think I'll dump it... (46K miles)

Anyone think there's any point either way?

maybe someone would want it to rip apart, practice a rebuild on an engine that dont matter - good way to gain mechanical experience if u ask me, after all the principles are the same with a lot of engine

Advertise it on MIGWeb as well as on here, Tim... Maybe even phone up that VPSC place and ask if they want to buy it!

If I still had my old Corsa, I could have taken that engine off you Tim, and converted it to a manual!

Turbocharge it, up the compression ratio to around 16:1 and convert it to run on methanol!
should see around the 400bhp mark from it
