Guys,
There is a motor for sale in Queensland on the MOC website for 5k. Thought you should know a few things. Be careful about what the owner is saying. I used to own the motor and sold it to him. Whilst it is a beautiful motor and yes does make 170hp (at fly not wheels) It did not take 5 years to build at a cost of $20k. It cost $8500 to build and was built by a friend of mine. He is claiming a few things that have been done to the motor that simply are not true. Yes it is a good donk but be careful what you hear. PS I sold it to him for $4k. G.
