I found a brand new S5 crank on ebay for $32.00.
Motor $179.00
Case $64.00
Head button $42.00
S5 Crank $32.00
So I paid.. $318 to try it.
I had the Cooling head and carb from a worn out C6BBT7. If you have the WS73 your 80% there. Just pick up the turbo head, piston/sleeve/rod, and crank from ebay, then you will be ready for next season.
My buddies at the track do this stuff all the time, and some have found combos they cant live without.
...and yes the Plus 4 by Nova will be an awesome motor when it hits the US!!!!
Sounds like you had some good luck finding stuff there! Now if I just knew what I could do with what's left of my OS .21 VG piece of crap for a backup engine
I don't think that anything good could come out of that thing! Maybe I'll stumble across something if I start thinking like that though.
I've got plenty of time to look around for what you listed too. But if you needed even two of those items brand new the cost would start to go way up with the way RB prices individual stuff
