Thanks for the input once again. That cost figure for heavy metal does indeed seem to be a bit much. The idea of better mains caps might be a very good one for bottom end strength and long life.
The info from Big Foot about the correct crank for internal balance sounds like just the thing we need especially as it doesn't need a fortune in heavy metal. Do you have any info about maker/supplier and part numbers etc.? This info will be very useful for anyone wanting a more revvy type of SBF. We can't let these Ferrari guys get away with 8,000rpm on the road while we plod along at 6,500rpm!
Keep the info coming - it is very much appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
