7k for a rebuild, with forged everything and a cam(s? dont you mean?) and a 25 head? Did you suck them off with that? Machining? That sounds like horse**** to me!

That sounds like horse**** to me! actually mine is around that but then i decided to get bigger cams that arent drop in items.. and the price of mine is a little more aswell since im not using an N1 pump that they 1st quoted. but the initial price im very sure was around 7grand but the cost of the motor since then (since ive decided to add things to the original quote) is probably around the 10-11 grand mark now :/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

(you'd hope so if it was just the head/bottom end lol) thats a whole motor including bolt-ons i hope? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
