Re: kens GC 4g63 sedan - *lots of pics

the turbo beanie was $150 from horsepower in a box at lonsdale. he makes them himself and was reccomended to him by a trusted mechanic. the thermal wrap was like $50-70 from memory for a pack. can buy it by the metre though. plus some metal cable ties to secure it $15 roughly. just got that from aut...

Re: Engine builders - who have you used?

mike dale automotive did my 4g63 work. he did a bunch of stuff at the same time so cant give a definitive rebuild price. he did my metal headgasket, upgraded valves and seats etc. only head work really. he can take a while at times as he normally works alone. but still good work!
