I think the appropriate statement would be "A good engine, built entirely by a workshop, will cost you around $11K drive in drive out."Again, I don't mean to step on anyones toes, but a built engine for these cars doesn't cost that much.If anyone is interested PM me.

"drive in and out of six different establishments and put it together yourself"? my drive in drive out, I was meaning my engine was built, fitted and tuned all in the one place Autotech.

I just want people to know that they don't have to spend that much money for a strong engine.Autotech do great work and they are entitled to charge whatever they deem fit for the quality of work they do. Good luck with your drag racing and I hope you can keep pushing the boundaries of the ZF mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
