Kevin Abbott Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Unless you have a proper 400 shell i can't see the point of getting a 400 engine, better engines are available for less money... Don't even talk about rebuilding a 400 engine unless you have very deep pockets and lots of time ( or are Sean and have all the spares in the loft ) Axle is same as a few others, brakes are brakes I suppose you pay for originality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
