An amount roughly equal to the GDP of a small nation, no doubt...

I may be wrong but it may be about £20,000

yes, around £20,000 to £24,000 depending on spec. Know of a couple of grassers looking at them (foolishly in my opinion considering you can get a 1000+ hp all alloy chevy for less than that!)

A chevvy would weigh loods more tho.

just incase u didn't know.


opinions on them?


unless you are racing professionally I personally wouldn't bother. Holshot racing could do you a more relible engine for half the cost and with more than enough power for anything under 800kg

Was just thinking that you could do a turbo v8 with 800+ hp.

I am looking forward to the day when the price of these bike engined V8`s comes down or my earnings rise so I can afford one.

The possibilites are getting my mind racing!!

For that kind of money I would imagine you could get your hands on something like a Hart or Judd racing V8. Servicing it is going to be jaw dropping but I cant imagine these V8 bike engines being much cheaper.

There you go, a 570bhp ex Lotus F1 Judd engine for $30k here
