savage bulldogs Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi n welcome to soc you certainly won't have any trouble finding that in a car park , both of my classics are common silver . If you're looking for a replacement long engine (block n heads) any v1 (93) to v4 (98) will be a straight swap[emoji6] although the v1/v2 has a phase 1 inlet and the v3/v4 has a phase 1.5 inlet (different shape and turbo entry) your phase 1 inlet , turbo and auxiliaries will fit to v3/v4 heads as the inlet stud pattern is the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Does depend on target power and whether you want to wait for bargains to crop up or buy it all at once . 350 hp is about the limit for the classic drive train so if you're aiming for about 400 hp max you'd probably be looking at about £1.5 k including machining costs if you build it yourself Open deck blocks are good for 400+ hp with the right internals of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sxvmark Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks mate will go for that me thinks 1.5 k is about what I'd thought 2k if my cranks no good cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 yeah to be honest I forgot about the crank as mine was fine and therefore re used . You could always just buy a newage sti bottom end and bolt your heads to it [emoji6] Either way just keep everything uber clean during assembly , check everything at least twice and don't skimp on gaskets . Mine is noisy when cold but has been running 300hp+ for 8k mls and doesn't leak a drop of oil or water due to using all new genuine gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
