carnt find anywere was readin a old total vauxhall and its say there 1420cc and 150bhp?

Which class? Class 2 is more or less a nova or micra class. Basically a rebuilt std 1297 engine to the rules. I'd expect to pay ?800-1000 exchange. For class 5 you are looking at 1421 as you say 150 bhp that will be a dry sump fuel injected 1400 probably with steel rods and crank. Class 5 cars have these engines in the back of a semi space framed car such as mini's and cinquecento's and will be coupled to a 2sp racing box. to be anyway competitive you'd be looking to pay ?5-10K depending on what you can do yourself!
