Pretty sure he's aware of that but if he gets the valve springs and oil pump gears changed himself that's a fair bit of coin saved there alone. Fitting the engine and box will save a fair bit as well, more than a tow is going to cost for sure.
Gunna if you only after 450 to 500 why not use an FG F6 short and get you head freshened up. Cheaper than a built motor for that goal. And your better of going with an FG manifold rather than some overpriced polished plenum.
Anyone know if the BF and FG radiators are the same (mounting positions etc)? Want to upgrade my FG turbo (auto) radiator but cant find anything. Tried calling Fenix today and they don't make one apparently. See plenty for the BFs around.
