Posting the link from S&F front page on this new motor from Caldwell Racing
A customizable, tuneable and easily re-buildable billet 2.5... OMG
The sound alone in the first vid is worth the price of admission, whatever it ends up being.
Think I need to take out a 2nd mortgage.

Sounds amazing! I wonder how they will last. It sounds like its on the ragged edge.

Theres a whole thread on there about it. Block, front half, heads/ domes and port inserts is gonna be around 15-18k. A version will be made to accept merc internals, but they plan on using their own design stroker cranks and h beam rods and that uses a different version block.

I think its cool you can swap interts for more/ less power. And being able to swap individual sleeves is priceless. If I only had the money I could build myself a Kenny killer for the old SV LOL!!!!

Already crunched the numbers.
To do a complete motor using new required parts and good used stuff you'd be into over $50k CDN.

The CRT components alone are upwards of 25k with the current exchange.
It's great stuff. The parts are works of art BUT...way out of reach for anyone wanting a lake motor.
