Whilst I'm on, are there any Engine Builders someone could recommend who might be able to rebuild me an engine to a spec similar to the one below please?
I know it is going to cost a substantial amount, but I wasn't
quite planning on spending nearly £7k on the engine!
1 X DCOE inlet manifold..........£299.50
1 X Pair of 45 DCOE Weber carbs..........£550.00
1 X Throttle linkage for above (twin cable)..........£82.50
1 X Distributor modification …….£250
1 X Machining services – crank, bore, hone, balance etc……..£210
1 X Standard piston set…….£268
1 X Engine set of bolts, bearings, gaskets and sundries…….£350
1 X Cylinder head modifications – (up rated seats and guides)………...£750
1 X Camshaft 300 degree..........£150 – re profiled
1 X Up rated oil pump……..£190
1 X Modified sump……£250
1 X Up rated water pump…….£210
Building and assembly..........£2450 (Donor engine to be supplied)
Dyno run in and calibration…….£750
The donor engine would be stripped, cleaned, bead blasted and de-burred. The block and head are then machined as required. Rotating parts are balanced, bolts changed where necessary. All plugs are replaced and retained, galleries are modified. The engine is re-built to a race tolerance specification. A Power output would be around the 185 BHP mark @ the flywheel, with a flat torque curve @ 150 - 160 lbs/ft.(rpm band 2500 - 7800)
