    Well done that truly is budget.
    Has it got a standard crank or a cossie crank? The pistons are 2nd hand I take it, are the rods too?

    I'd like to build one for that but I doubt I'd manage it.

    New pistons, new rods and a standard pinto crank as it might buzz t0 7500 but not often enough to worry it

    Re: My budget yb build

    How the hell have you done this on £1100 ???!!!

    Wossner pistons ~ £400 +
    Rods ~ £400 +
    Cams ~ £300 +
    Donor head £200 +
    New oil pump ~ £80 +
    plus the manifold (s)

    You must have been wearing a very low cut top when you were shopping for those bits mate! lol.
