T Rex Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Welp, gotta send the block out to get bored and have the crank knife edged. I know I shouldn't ask but I haven't done much research on how expensive it is to get the crank done, anybody have a clue? Ive heard M and M does a good job but Ive also heard that they are expensive. Thanks in Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Mike at M&M rocks. They arent THAT expensive and they do awesome work. Besides, why would you want to value shop with something as important as machine work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slow4now Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 WERD. People try to save money in the wrong areas of a build-up, and then wonder why the car doesn't run for very long. Cheaping out now will cost more in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Rex Posted July 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 RL whats the number up to M&M? Buckeye, Esslinger parts are VERY nice, but Im looking to build this engine. Someday I will own one of their aluminum heads. I will be using a T5 transmission so a c4 conversion wont be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend with a turbo 4 from a merkur (same engine, just more of a 'stand alone' style harness and computer), harness computer and all, He'd probably sell it pretty cheap if you needed another motor.
