He's gonna have to bend over to the tune of a couple of G to rebuild it, more if he's gonna throw forged internals and uprated bolt ons into the mixer too... shame that a LOT of these seem to need a short block sooner or later, because these cars are brilliant fun when they're going.


Cheers,
Grant
