RE: Yep, Dave - you're in the ballpark. Take a swing. :-) [n/m]

By Bill Conley - 12/31/2001 11:09:36 AM; IP 63.23.169.63

Here's my guess, Mr. F-

When I was at Ford engineering I got to know a guy named John Vermeersch. He told me each cammer cost Ford about $14,500 to build.

For those of you who don't know of John, he's been Ford's "Total Performance" answer man for a number of years. He installed a cammer into his '61 Starliner back in 1967- and has driven it over 130,000 miles since then. Seeing his car inspired me to find my engine and stick it into a full sized body.

Anyway, back to that $14,500 figure. Makes sense because of all the custom parts amortized over such a small number of units.

So am I close??

-Bill
