hi arthur,
a reasonable question, how much.
but you are going to get alot of different answers.
first off, are you looking to save by doing the work yourself. or looking for someone else to build.
if not as suggested pigsty at £4,800 a couple of years ago. this price sounds very sensible, as you get the time on the dyno.
if you are looking to do the work yourself, then you are looking for prices of parts only.
there are several suppliers of parts out there, different suppliers may sorce there parts from different places. i find its very handy to attend the main jumbles and see the difference in price to quality of whats on offer, so you can make your own mind up on what parts you are fitting.
as im a trader myself, i hope my statement is fear to all.
i would also check everyones websites, or ask aditional questions on the phone for whats available.
for instance, ive just started to restock reconditioned blocks. after not doing them for around 8 years. price at the momment is £800.00 this includes £300 of labour and machine work from the company we use and parts came to £504.00 ive not added anything on for the running around as yet. or the bit of fitting ive had to do myself. so expect prices to rise. these will go onto my website soon.
as suggested there are a number of different crank manufacturers about, personally i like to supply pheonix, theve had a good reputation for decades. i beleive next years list price for 1 5/16 splash is £650 plus vat. but again. different suppliers will have different prices, on availability.
dont forget to factor in things like cleaning, if you are paying for thing like soda blasting.
if you want to know more about getting extra power, as R suggests buy the bill williams book. but this will give you the cheats as well as how to do it properly. so pick the way you want to go.
