What is "CONVERSION OF CYL HEAD TO NEW FINGER FOLLOWER ARRANGEMENT"

Im presuming this is replacement of finger followers. Anyone know what is meant by this? Just curious. The followers can be replcaed but can the physical arrangement be modified easily?

11.350 pounds... sounds a lot but I am having my T350t engine rebuilt at the moment so I am having an estimated guess.

If it's a std rebuild.......£9826 inc the std 20% steal from our government.

[natben]

I had a standard engine rebuild along with a clutch, battery and lots of other items a couple of years ago so based on my experience I reccon you are near to £11,600 inc Vat.

£8700 inc vat. Does the winner get a 4.5 rebuild form Tvr power ?

[stlol]

£12k + 20% tax to house immigrants.

[RedSpike66]

For that money, a 4.3 makes a LOT of sense.... but where do you stop ???

[Don1]

If Power are rebuilding it, why are new bits being added afterwards? Surely it's quicker/cheaper to get Power to do it the first time?

Confusing isn't...........I just ignored the FFF bits and other "nice to have" stuff.

Since he said it was going to Power for a Std 4 ltr rebuild, I gave the Web page price for that??

It would be good if the OP came on-line instead of dropping a "shoutie" guess what???

Hey ho.

[Don1]

Not even FFF - FFF is Finger Follower Free, so this is something else.

[natben]

Is he getting a full engine rebuild at TVR Power THEN getting a FFF conversion???

I didn't read it properly, if he is then I can add a good few ££££££ to my quote and I don't think TVR Power would touch the FFF head.

+1 as I said above, I ignored the FFF comment.

TVR Power, as you say, don't do FFF........8-/

Be good if OP "explains" ???

Aren't you going to break that down for us?

[glow worm]

I think a 4.5SS would have been a better choice .
