250-300 I'd want to hear it running as well.
You could pay the above for a complete car if you can find one or pick one up from a scrappy for 50 quid.
Depends really.

Ia gree, its not so much the cost, but I'd be after a sub 100k example bought from someone breaking the car or the the person that knows the engine & some of its history. Ideally hear/see it running.
Donor car is ideal for this. However you could still buy it cheap in this way. But a random engine no one knows the history of could still be ?250/300.

buy one as cheap as possible, then spend the rest of your money giving it a full rebuild.
il be after one in a few months, il try and find a full car tho and make money stripping it.

thats pretty much the "best" advice going tbh.
I'd work on 1bhp lost per year rule of thumb.

I paid ?180 for a cav gsi 2000 then sold the interior for ?150 bargain!!
AYe, id look for a complete car too.
That way you can drive it, make sure its all good.
You get EVERYTHING you need for a conversion.
And you can sell the rest and sometimes end up with a free engine,lol.
