That's not bad... you would still have £10 of the £250 budget for all the other parts... oh no, hang on: decimal point in the wrong place

There are much better ways of getting 600HP but thats not the point.
I drool over that in the same way as i drool over having a cosworth DFV.
Euro lottery win and i would probably buy that just for kicks

Going by that theory, my 3.6 cost me £80 so for 24k, i could have a 300 cylinder engine
ETA - just worked out that would be a 1080 litre engine!

You could get a LS1 engine from the US or a scrap monaro. Bolt a harrop supercharger and achieve the same BHP.
Fair play to the chap who has built it, sweat and tears etc.
However in my eyes even if Jesus built it alongside Ayrlton Senna.... Id never buy it
Only drive as fast as your angel can fly... !
