Engine, trannie and body trim are hard to get, they're specific to Aston Martin. Electrical is Lucas and most is common to some Jag or Healy. When I rebuilt it, I had pistons and valves made locally. Main and rod bearings, and head gaskets are very expensive. Mains and rod bearings were $1,500!! Before I bought the pcar, I looked at engine part prices on Pelican and decided that it was cheaper than Astons to rebuild. I spent over $8,000 on the rebuild, with me doing the wrenching.
