Thatsa summa 'spensive motor !! only about $9300 for the block and heads...! maybe the innards are 24kt. lol Sheesh!

Scroll down for a pre-signed oval air cleaner ( extra $$ ) to top it off ( if you don't have your original 'tin' one )

I believe it ! .. my buddy's new Tiger motor... 347 'turn-key' 425 hp ... dynoed... delivered ... $7000!

a Dart aluminum block... http://www.race-mart.com/Dart-DRT-31344175.html

$4750 vs. $7150

... looks like at least $2500 extra for that 'cool' CS logo... lol

A CS engine wont last more than a few hours in a Tiger. Just ask the 64 Le Mans competitors.
