When you price up the individual components, 4k does start sounding pretty reasonable it has to be said.

Plus its in that sweet spot in terms of mileage, its not done enough miles to be worn, but has done enough to know there wont be any teething problems.

Ideal for you Carlo would just mean bolting your bits on and switching the cams, would make a real safe engine that would take all the boost your T34 could give , then if you do go GT30 in the future its just a turbo swap.

I know plenty of people who've spent far more on building a new engine only to then have issues, so its the easy option for someone and will save them some cash too.
Especially when you factor in the fact that they are likely to get a grand back for their old YB anyway!

CARLO! I'm tempted to post up some of your text's "Not going crazy with this one" "Just a good stage 3"

Nice purchase though. I'm not putting that in the boot of my Golf so don't even ask
