so good to see one done up JDM styles though. I hate this USDM V8 or turbo stuff (no disrespect).
NSW FTW hahahhaha.
Actually it was well over $10k and I can assure you it is very easy to spend that much on a serious engine build. It's all the little bits like rod bolts, metal gasket, valvesprings and so on that really add up. There is a lot of money in machining, balancing and labour to consider too. If you only think about the big parts in the engine you will be boggled .
