   Surely price could vary over anything depending on milage, condition, history etc etc.. depends what youre looking for and if youre prepared to spend what they want! (:

   I've got a JP4 head for sale? Better matched to a J4 bottom end apparently.
   
   Yours for £150

   tbh i dont see why jp4 engines would be much more than j4 engines, many have just as many miles as j4 engines, plus the effort it takes to fit them in to a saxo, id rather just rebuild a j4 engine personally

    depends what someone wants to pay for it most people get one these days as a low mileage ie sub 60k J4 engine is hard to come by. JP4s generally lower mileage ideal for slotting in as a replacement.
    
    if you are after a bare engine to swp stuff onto im selling mine cheap now as i've had the covers off it but only thing is your way up leeds so prob cost effective for you to try getting one closer to home
