they say it made over 800 then the ex housing was changed for more drivability , then it went back to 780 odd,, and then took some ignition back out it and final figure was 750 odd

not being funny and i know its about what it does then how it looks,
but if that cost 45 fucking grand ,
well you think they may of made it a little more presentable ,
bit of powder coating here , paint there , lag the exhaust ect ,
looks like a peice of shit , like a 2nd hand engine in a concourse car ,

Well Beefy, £45k was a suggested figure as to what an engine like this might cost to build, but this particular engine, who knows? It's a bit Heath Robinson and all that, Chip has some interesting stuff on where the plenum came from etc.
But yes £45k a lot of money. Even half that is a lot of money. In fact... well yeah it's a lot of money.

yeah im not saying 45 k was the exact figure quoted to andy when he bought it ,
but tony seemed quite specifc when he said 45 k and this engine made 800 hp ,
i was assuming he knew the details of the motor specifically ,
all im saying is that even if it was 30 k ,
no real thought for the fit and finish has been considered has it ?
i mean the brazed fule rails the turbo brace ,
i know it hasnt but it looks a bit slapped together and with a ohh that will do approach ,
maybe its just me or the bufty side in me ,
but fucks sake , whats a bit of powdercoating cost ?
i mean it dont even look like theve blanked off the dizzy in a neater fashon ??
you look a reylands engine bay, or nms ect ,
all could supply you with a 750 hp motor ,
and it would look a damm sight nicer imo
fucking lot of cash , id want part of it justifyied in the appearance ,
