Worth every penny.
Would cost more than that to build it yourself.

It will probably end up in an Escort rally car.
That sort of engine with that spec, for that kind of money won't be bought by your average joe with a Corsa road car.

thats what the average ' cheque book' grp4 escort would run.
crank, rods and pistons alone probably cost nearly £3k...once hes added his cut etc on top, think he uses kent for some of the valve train, but he goes mega mega huge on ports where the underside of the inlets have to be pad welded so can be machined 28mm down the ports. he likes his engines to revs but after a mate having one of his engines, it had a 2.5k or so power band and felt flat as hell to about 5k then limited just under 8k.
worth it though for a sprint/tarmac cars though, hes become abit more public since ireland fell on its arse as he was building 2.3s etc for them all and making a killing
