I must pay more attention to this thread as I almost missed this post.

A lovely engine for a 4/4 but a crazy price.

I bought my 2.0L crate engine in 2018 for about 1200 US Dollars but I already had a Librands manifold so need to add say another 800 USD for that. 2000USD in total tops and I get as much power as that engine up to 5600 RPM. And more torque.

It is true that the last few horses cost a lot more than the first few horses but nevertheless that is still a lot of money to pay if it is for a road car which will spend most of it's time probably below 6000 RPM.

If it is for a race car then I think it will need more power than that to be competitive.

Adding throttle bodies would cost about another 1500 USD or so and would add some more top end power but do nothing for the mid range torque.

Ok, so it has an uprated clutch, special sump, modified water rail, special BDA style cam cover etc but even so ????

As I said, a lovely engine for someone but overpriced. Not sure if that exhaust manifold would fit the 4/4 without a lot of chopping.
