It's gotta be 5K.
By Dave Shoe - 12/31/2001 12:08:21 PM; IP 216.243.158.32
I vote for 5K each.

The iron heads were easier to cast than the aluminum, easier to machine, the contract volume for 1966 was apparently 250 engines so set-up fees would be less significant, and the design and tooling already paid for.

Special machining and non-producton handling made the cost of each engine come out to 5K. That's a million and a quarter to build the final batch. This also brings up the question ofwhat the 1965 batch of 250 cost, and how much tooling cost affected the build of those engines.

How did I do, and where did you find your info?

Shoe.
