I belive around $35,000 for a whole engine. 1964 Mk1 Lotus twin cam cortina head is $10K i sold a 63 lotus cortina diff heada few years ago that pice of alloy only went for 1500.(No gears just the housing)     Malcolm     ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 7:29 PM Subject: RE: unsubscribe British RS2000 with the Cosworth BDA engines are tres quick for NA engines. There are a few of them here in the Canberra Scorts club and I can tell you they are a match for a FJ20 turbo if only in a straight line - there aren't too many 80's production 4 cylinders that pull 140 mph. One of the Canberra cars has a $40K driveline in it - big dollars, he told me the spare head was $15K alone which is in FIA Datto league if you could still buy one, you can buy 3 FJ's for that and have the same amount of fun. The thing is with Scorts is you just still buy the good bits off the shelf, last trip to Sydney I did, I picked up some you bute steering rack for a RS 2000 still in a box from England with the customs stamps on it - they're way ahead of us in that area.   regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of maldat Sent: Sunday, 8 December 2002 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: unsubscribe Brad are you talking Uk or aussie RS..??
