Hey buddy, welcome aboard. How mechanically minded are you, because you state you want to be involved in some of the build? Don't take it lightly, building a 600rkw vehicle is serious money and serious mechanical knowledge/experience. I have blown close to your original budget, done all the mechanical work myself including the engine rebuild and still have under 400rkw.

Do yourself a favor Burgz.......... Buy Bradens FG (sell your car), you are fortunate enough at this time for something of that caliber being available, the fg in question can produce the goods regarding what you state you are after, it can be detuned for the street and also surprise many on a dyno day. The answer you seek is right in front of you bud :beerchug::icon_ford:

Thanks spool, yes I am mechanically minded, I have rebuilt a few engines, I wont be doing all the engine work myself, I will just be there with him lookikng at what happening and finding out things I havnt yet found out about on or in the engine,

the bottem end will be sent ready to to go so its just doing the top parts, I want to mainly do the plumbing and bolt on parts and do a few mechanical stuff providing I have the time to get there, as its 400km away to where I live to do it,

im not sure wether it makes a difference to get my heads ported, but I am thinking I will do it, any suggestions with this??

I can understand the wanting to do most of your build yourself, I did. Whilst it was good to learn and say I built most of my car myself if I had my time again I would by something like that fg, only for the saving of money and not having my car on the road for nearly a year. What I learned while building my ute was invaluable and being able to tell people I pulled the engine out, I put it back in I ran fuel lines fitted surge tanks etc Is pretty cool. Also be aware that what you want to build is goin to be very very very very very very very fast. Extremely easy to loose bulk points on your license. Out of curiosity what parts have you bought for this thing so far and who is building your engine/doing your tuning. :beerchug:
