Hi All,
I need help on putting together an engine build plan. I have built a couple of engines before so enjoy getting my hands dirty but will need a support network and thus my first post here today.
Car is a Holden FE 1957 ute with the goal of Friday end of week quick drive and when ever possible club events and sprints. I am not after drag strip and dyno hero. With this in mind and the fact the ute only weighs around 1200kgs I am thinking of 300-400kw at engine should be plenty. I am also not sure if I go RB25, RB30/25, or RB30.
From reading alot of posts here
Option 1 - Buy full RB25 Neo for $3500 - mods, not sure and what to budget $???
