hi dickie,
most people ignore how much these things cast, until there own needs restoring.
most people will still suggest a full engine rebuild costs £3.5k to £4.5k. with the restorers. yet in sure to get the job done properly today will cost far more.
since those prices were around, crank bearings alone have gone from £200 to £250.
i find with building something like a blown engine, is more are all the parts available at the same time. rather than the high build price
also on the subject of engines, if anyone is looking to buy a rebuilt engine to get there car on the road this year. i have at least 3 to go out for sale. or on ebay. 2 have alloy heads etc. plus 2 restored bottom ends.
even a rebuilt rosenguart block if needed.
