Hello group! I have a Formula A (SCCA) Ralt RT-4 race car. I am looking to put a Mazda engine in it. I called one guy on the west coast and he wanted over $18,000 for a motor with webers 48 but no exhaust. One builder in Flordia was higher then this. There is a Mazda shop in town that builds local street racers cars and he said he could build me a high H/P motor with= 48 webers, dry sumped, hardened gears, raceing bearings, lightened routers, lightened couter balancers and lightened fly wheel, 1 piece apex seals, bridge ported, for $5000. My question is: is the difference in cost worth it? You now what I mean is it only mark up or can they be worth all the difference in price? Looking forward to your replies.

I have no idea... But 18k sounds a bit steep.... 5K sounds more reallistic

where are you located?

if the place in florida happens to be CLR Carlos Lopez Racing, i wouldn't spend 18k with them...
