You can get 170 bhp for £1500 if you know what your doing . The problem is not many people do
Very true mate
Ron at HT's used to be able to do a 2.2 bottom end for £1800, offset ground crank, diesel rods etc. Seems to work well and lasts.
And a head from Ron is around £1200 plus a cam kit.
Modded dizzy is around £30 for Ron to do i think, just remove the vacumn advance etc.
My first cossie engine cost £5000 inc dyno.
That was a secondhand block, new forged pistons, knife edged crank, head ported and new guides and valve seats, BD14 inlet cam and standard exhaust. Plus a wrc 8 injector inlet manifold, dizzyless ignition, P8 ecu, which was £600 on its own. Its mostly a case of what you know and who you know
Thats why i use Joe, he is very cheap and knows alot of people to get things done right and for the right price
how much power did you have in your cossy originally m8?
