If I wanted you to build/sell a T4 like this what would you need and what would it cost?

I know its a difficult answer but ball park would do....

I happen to know that IMPI would trade an engine like that for a Zero Point Hyper Drive. I'm sure with your influence you should be able to rustle one up.

Hi Something like that is not easy to cost
A normal type four usualy costs about R7000 to recon
The deuts sleeves used are usually a couple of beers but then the fun starts they have some time on a lathe before we can use them figure about R1000 in machining the cylinders chevy pistons are cheaper than vw so there you score a bit the head work will be slightly more than a std rebuild
I would say that you would not get much back from R10000 for a complete long block About twice as much as I do a 1600 std engine

I know we are talking ball park but 10k's is a good ballpark.. I have the deuts...could FI be added as an option and do you add an extra stud thru the head to help seal the head what with the difference in heat soak between the head and the cast iron deuts? Or not an issue??

Didi and I are going to IMPI on Sunday, will print this post out, and give to him.

PS: Never go to the toilet in IMPI's home. There is a high pile of old Volksworlds and VW Trends in it. One tends get to uhm... 'carried away', and after an hour someone knocks on the door wanting to know if you are OK!

Can you still help Impi

The main question as always remain Budget!
A Duetz sub probably would go for about R10000 but a lot of add ons add up eg exhaust ,carbs,cooling system etc
Why dont you phone me sometime in the evening and we can discuss a bit further.
