Just flicking through the bay and found this your thoughts

Having a giraffe at that price, plus how much for the turbo!!!

 

£1750 for the turbo and £500 for the Hydra ECU.

 

No one on the road would want that. It would purely be for competition and you can get just as good engines straight from the builders, not sure on the price of those but you'd have the warrenty.

 

For the work and parts used it is worth the money but as said it is a competition engine.

There is alot of engineering in that running without head gaskets is a sign of this and the Rods and pistons are around £2500 on their own.

 

You quite often see Graham Sweet engines in a lot of the WRC cars, now being privately run. I would guess that his work is pretty good.
