Hey I'm talking the real early stuff that has different markings and castings. E.G the 1500 Lotus Kent engine has a L cast in the block under the engine mount,,only fitted in 63/64 ..they also have different head markings..the early stuff is worth a lot more..
$10-15 for a BDA I sopose? I havnt had much to do with twin cam escorts but cortina's I have. I did have a nice 1600Sport mk2 with full body kit and 15x7 superlites(minilights)years ago malcolm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben C" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 7:36 PM Subject: Re: unsubscribe > mk1 cortina head worth more than a BDA head.....i dont think so....the mk1 > is only a 8 valve twin cam, not a 16v > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "maldat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 5:13 PM > Subject: Re: unsubscribe > > > > If a cortina mk1 lotus head is $10K plus the billet cams $600 each?. > > > > These are comen old stuff > > > > The FIA isnt.. > > I be keen to know what the last one sold for or even the OS head. > > > > Malcolm > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Andrew Greenbury" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:04 PM > > Subject: RE: unsubscribe > > > > > > > Brad, > > > > > > What sort of ballpark money are we talking for an FIA head? > > > > > > Thanks > > > Andrew > > > > > > > I consider an FIA to be money well spent, just ask Errol if you don't > > > > believe me. > > > > > > > > You will not get another L series head to perform like an FIA, and > they > > > > constantly increase in value. > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of maldat > > > > Sent: Monday, 9 December 2002 6:00 AM > > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Subject: Re: unsubscribe > > > > > > > > > > > > I sopose it depends on how much spare cash? > > > > > > > > One guy I know has to many cars to list and all his cortinas have > lotus > > > > engines,all his minis are "coopers" > > > > All his Jags have roll cages,well most of his cars do > > > > Malcolm > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: mark <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> krawczuk > > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 1:56 AM > > > > Subject: Re: unsubscribe > > > > > > > > one thing i cant understand, is who would spend $35k on a engine, if > > > > you ask me its just very poor design....... > > > > > > > > i`ve seen guys who spent about 8 to 10 k on a engine with the same > or > > > > less power as my old l/z hybrid which cost about half that... > > > > > > > > just because its genuine nissan etc....... doesnt always mean that > its > > > > the best.....like spending a few thousand on a head, .( fia or > what > > > > ever they are..) for a few thousand i would want 40- 50 kw > > > > increase..... > > > > > > > > > > > > mark k > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > > From: maldat <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 5:15 PM > > > > Subject: Re: unsubscribe > > > > > > > > Nissan water front race here in wellington a few years back a guy was > > > > racing a escort ex rally/steet car ,He won?,but he was hanging it out > > > > big time around every corner. > > > > > > > > The real cosworth 2.0L twin cam(ford) engine is very very nice full > > > > alloy block and all,,very light. > > > > 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 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > 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.
