Just so you know i have reciepts for this engine to PROVE this had only covered aprox 10,000 miles and if you wish to know who built this engine i think you will shut it about it being dodgy ( pm me and i will tell you who built it ) this engine was a superb engine and ran perfect ALL RECIEPTS FOR THE ENGINE AND BRAND NEW 500 HEAD
Sorry for the comment about it being a dear engine, it was obviously one with good history and pedigree. Infact it sounds quite reasonable with a new head being £1500+vat bare, 200 blocks £700, pistons at £400 etc.
I think the cost thing blinded a few people but all involved seem to have got good value for money.
N8THN, I can see you POV but surely we can help who we feel and spend our money /time how we want.
