Tom Tucker Donating Members 702 Member For: 5y 10m 3d Posted 14/05/20 01:47 AM Share Posted 14/05/20 01:47 AM Morning All, I've managed to get a couple of quotes for engine builds and can summarise as follows: - atomic 698 long ~ $13k - TBRE long ~ $15k Question is, what's a reasonable price to pay for a mid range build? I've seen as low as $7k for your standard ross/spool combo. I'd have thought $10k would be reasonable, but that doesn't seem to cut it if you want the head tidied up, new timing gear and quieter pistons. I'm in SE QLD, so maybe away from some of the proven expertise down in Melb and Adelaide. My motor is currently fine, but planning for future!

HI PSI Member 1,587 Member For: 18y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 14/05/20 11:43 AM Share Posted 14/05/20 11:43 AM I'd consider selling my spare short engine for 8.5k. It's pretty much a 998 spec short with a Torrington set up. That would give you a lot of room for head work and have a better engine... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95695-engine-build-pricing/#findComment-1694752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 10y 26d Posted 14/05/20 01:53 PM Share Posted 14/05/20 01:53 PM Throw in that box of chipboard screws and ya have deal. Would love to throw that in my BA series 2 but I just spent some coins on fixing a diff bolt failure. To spend 8.5k worth of engine upgrade plus a shed load on strengthen everything behind it. Mal Wood clutch $$$ IMS diff hat to stop bolt snapping. 700 hp short shafts Chasing the dragon.. Although it does look damn cool layed out like that. Soooo tempting.

Even better go and see him and run through some options with him.

Tom Tucker Donating Members 702 Member For: 5y 10m 3d Posted 15/05/20 09:31 PM Author Share Posted 15/05/20 09:31 PM Thanks mate, will do. So Maxx Performance do pretty much exactly what I'm looking at for $10,400. Ive spoken to Dynomite and haven't got a price yet, but advised I should do fire rings from the start. Broad array of pricing around, that's for sure. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95695-engine-build-pricing/#findComment-1694771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
