An amount roughly equal to the GDP of a small nation, no doubt...

I may be wrong but it may be about £20,000

yes, around £20,000 to £24,000 depending on spec. Know of a couple of grassers looking at them (foolishly in my opinion considering you can get a
1000+ hp all alloy chevy for less than that!)
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

just incase u didn't know.
opinions on them?
unless you are racing professionally I personally wouldn't bother. Holshot racing could do you a more relible engine for half the cost and with
more than enough power for anything under 800kg

Was just thinking that you could do a turbo v8 with 800+ hp.

Bike Based V8`s
I am looking forward to the day when the price of these bike engined V8`s comes down or my earnings rise so I can afford one.
The possibilites are getting my mind racing!!

For that kind of money I would imagine you could get your hands on something like a Hart or Judd racing V8. Servicing it is going to be jaw dropping
but I cant imagine these V8 bike engines being much cheaper.
