hey, this is a big regret but as the title says, im selling my full forged vlt engine. the head has just been freshly rebuilt but cam and springs are 1000k's new. the head is still currently off the engine so inspection of the bottom end is more than welcome and i can also have the head put on by my mechanic at any time. specs as follows: Bottom end: o-ringed decked and honed weisco forged pistons, 20thou oversize weisco rings ARP head studs Scat rods ARP rod bolts ACL race series bearings GTR oil pump all new welsh plugs new thermostat new water pump Gates racing timing belt everything has just been ran in, 1000k's old as will see when inspected. Head: big custom grind Crow cam(1000k's) crow valve springs(1000k's) all new valves mild port and polish new lifters (1000k's old) decked 3 layer steel, cometic head gasket new gasket kit i was aiming for 450rwks and to run 9's. reason for sale, im giving up on the project, the enigne was ran in on my previous vlt which a "mate" decided to take for a spin and wrote the car off. im sure theres a few things ive left out so just ask. interested buyers only, anyone serious knows what an engine like this costs to build so im not just going to give it away. Asking price: $6000 NEG. PM is the best option but email is [email removed] PM for my mobile number. cheers, max.
