Do you mean £? If so then £50 of course...... as far as the wife is concerned everything is £50......
@monkeyvanwestybike its not the engine that's the pricey bit in any case.... the engines are indeed pretty much in line with your £300 M50. Try fitting that M50 to a car that it was not intended for and see the money flow out of your life though.
That’s ^ what it will have to do to produce 198bhp. Put too high a gear on it and you’ll be rowing it along on the gears to keep it on the cam(s). The Subaru 5-speed would be much better than a 6-rib.
Some research will occurr however being the 2.5..... which following the rebuild it had is actually more like 2.6-7 it's a fairly tourqey lump low down. It's a legacy motor not Impreza. Irrespective of what it may be rated at its been bought to go up hills at sensible speeds not win the traffic light Grand Prix
2.5 is all about grunt/torque probably a better engine for a camper. tbh it would be better in mine @CandyCamper what with me towing etc.
We went up a hill at 15mph for about an hour once....sensible speed....it was worth it though Black Hills of Dakota
Looks relaxing and deserted. Unlike the hills in Cornwall where a quick glance in the mirror reveals a snaking trail of red faced motorists cursing their unfortunate luck to be stuck behind a fully loaded 1600 cc relic from before they were born.
For anyone considering this...... here is a super cheap option that just popped up on my followed searchs. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112334510852
No £6954 +sundries then I dunno Perhaps if you tell us how much you have spent then that will clear it up I have A calculator and I will deduct the £99 for the engine
