Still looking at the parts book, I might talk to FSW to see if I can get some of the goodies from them. That engine cover looks pretty sweet.
Seriously Oscar ... I'll bet that the 250 hp Cosworth costs close to $20k once you get it here and then there's the installation and tuning costs. And then consider the costs if something breaks. Yikes!
I'd wager that you and Jamie will spend a fraction of that getting the same power out of the engines you have now and with more reliability and less risk of expensive repairs.
