Re: 1914cc Type 1 customer engine build
The total came in just over R80k. I did not charge any labour as this was a favor to the owner. If I had to charge labour it would probably have to be at least R10k more due to all the specialized machining.
The only parts we used from the old engine:
-Carburetors with air filters and linkage
- Fan housing, alternator, alternator stand and engine tin
Everything else in the engine is new. Casing, crank, rods, cam, gears, pistons, oil pump, barrels, heads, rockers, ign system etc.

Re: 1914cc Type 1 customer engine build
Ohh my hat that is nice.. I guess you have to be prepared to pay for such quality.
Too much for my pocket, but then again, I'm not after such performance, just would like a DRY motor.. ahem..
Anyways, best of everything to the new owner, stunning work there 4agedub.

Re: 1914cc Type 1 customer engine build
This engine should make around 90kw on the wheels @ 6500rpm. My dad's 1914cc t1 made around 85kw on the wheels which is good enough to pull just over 170km/h at zwartkops
