Norman Verona Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Great little engine. Reliable and easy to fix. Only problem I know of is the centre exhaust manifold bolts which can come loose if not tightened regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sparky - my budget was £5k and I spent a bit more than that but got £750 of spares at least. I would guess to build my car now with the G/Box and diff/engine would cost upwards of £7k just for the engine/box and diff. A cross-flow seems a great starting point and in the right hands will we rapid enough in a sub 2 litre class on the right rubber. I wanted a car to compete with and Martin Parkes (pub crawler) really did a cracking job on my little car. Dont forget every westy is different mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
