Mike, I'm going this route, probably over-the-top. If you have a look at my
list of things done/to-do at http://triumph.hottr6.com/hottr6.html, I have
budgeted US$7,000 for my motor. Building the drive-train to hang off this
healthy motor is eye-opening in terms of $$$. Clearly, one does not have to
go this far for a good motor, though on the other hand, I can guarantee that
I could easily double the amount spent on this motor.
Set your budget, cost out the parts and labor, add 20% over-run. Iterate on
this a few times and then have fun!
