you could always do a little work on a v6 and TT it, heaps cheaper and probably more reliable with same or more power :lol:

How much is a 2nd hand V8 supercar motor ? I reckon the 808 would run it and as it's a sbc should bolt straight into my Q !

The engine I saw was a lot more than that. All up with a freshen up was nearly $100,000. the rings were $100 each. It was one of Larry Perkins engines.
