The shocking cost of engine parts!
Speaking to Neil Bold he recons the cost of a new cam and followers is £110.
He went to America a while back and he said that they had run out of Ford cams so they opened it up meaning they could buy cams from other manufacturers (of the same profile etc) so over there they only cost about £10!! why cant we do that here?? |

You KNOW why not. Money.
Apparently fuel pumps were £13, new price £39. I think the just pull the prices out of a hat. Better and more unbelievable than anything Paul Daniels can do. |

cams either have to be original specification FoMoCo ones (i.e an old cam) Or the new ones supllied with "formula ford" or something similar stamped on the side of the rear bearing, these are also serial numbered as far as im aware..

If you 1600 boys still want to race old out of date push rod engines then parts will be expensive! You could always buy a Zetec, a brand new complete engine from Ford Motorsport is £1,100 and it only needs rebuilding every 5 seasons!
