I've been getting a few verbal estimates and doing some searching on costs for rebuilding the type4. It seems like the magic number is right around 10k for a good quality complete rebuild, adding a few goodies like head work, cam, etc. I know it's a very broad subject and there's a lot of contributing factors on what impacts the overall price but I'm just looking for a ballpark for right now. I can't afford a Raby build but also don't want something I can't rely on. Thanks for the input.

Rebuild cost depends a lot on what the scope is. If you have the skills and time, you can remove/reinstall the engine, strip it down to a short block and have the shop rebuild to a short block will save a lot of out of pocket money. You can refurb the tin and intake, mount the alternator, service the ignition/injectors/harness yourself at minimal cost.

But I know my skills are limited when it comes to engine building/assembly etc. If it was a small block chevy I could do it in my sleep, but this build I will leave to the pros. Thanks, everyone for the input...I'm still searching. |
