Default Re: Banger Engine Build

Jack Shaft,

You really know how to hurt a Guy. Pinto, if only it had anywhere near the torque.

In reality, if you have to ask how much it cost, you will not be able to afford it.

If in fact the existing motor is good, no cracks anywhere, not been "re-babbited" and goofed up, a good "C" crank etc, probably in the $10k range. There is a ton of work necessary to add all the features and properly assemble.

If truly interested in building a motor such as this, invest in Brierley's book and read it till you start to understand what you are undertaking. The technology of this vintage was never thought to have these operating conditions.

Can it be done, yes. J

PS, just a side note; in order for a part to be considered good, "it must PASS the inspection procedure" just because it was magnefluxed doesn't mean it passed.
