Well done mate. Must be awesome to drive....

Now there is a car that has aged well. They still fech a pretty penny to.....

$80 to flush a radiator is an absolute joke. Its probably only a 15 min job and less than $40 for coolant

The auto in the NA's and turbo's are the same, the tailshafts are stronger in the T's, the diffs in the XR6T and XR8 are the same.

Should fech 23 - 25K I would think

I heard about the site on Ford Forums and also saw the club sticker on the back on Dagabonds car when it was in at Craig's shop.

95,000 kms on a 2004 model here. Still running sweet.

Cool, thanks for all of the responses guys. Much appriciated.

Thanks for the kind offer mate. I am waiting for a couple of things to fall into place before I start the engine build but I will shoot you a PM when I am good and ready. Cheers

You do make a good point and I have already thought about this option. The thing is that I am not chasing the sort of power to justify building a motor with forged internals. The main reason for this is because I dont want to have to spend a fortune on rebuilding the BTR 4 speed every second week.

Thanks for that, I guess I will have to keep hunting around. I still have not been quoted any less than $3,500 yet though.......

Hi all, I have been floating around these forums for a bit now and have read alot about being able to purchase BF F6 short motors for around $2,500 (I have even heard as low as under $2,000 in some cases). I want to build a stronger motor for my BA Mk 1 turbo. Where are people purchasing these F6 short motors for under $2,500?? Every time I ring up and try to get a price on one I get told it will set me back at least $3,500. Any help on where I can pick one up for around $2,000 - $2,500 would be much appriciated. Thanks
