Ed White Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is it me or does that look expensive ( no ofence meant). It that really what a good crossflow is selling for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlifecrisis2001 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Ed, I'd suggest its not far off the money, here is a used one for £5,000http://www.motorsport-sales.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=320&products_id=2411It would certainly cost nearer £10k to have one built for you to the same spec' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I would have though if you hd an old x-flow that swoping it out for a Zetec would be a good option, http://www.kitspares.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=273&search=engine ok you need to fettle a bit but you stand to save lots and have a bullet proof engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Having converted from x/flow to a Zetec on Jenveys I can assure you you'll not have much left in the piggy bank. The incidentals trends to add up to a lot more than you think. Full details can be seen herehttp://c7cat.com/Zetec_conversion.htmI think I might have been tempted by this x/flow had it been available at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted March 21, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted March 21, 2015 If I damage my Crossflow, this is the sort of thing I would seek. My only comment is that I would expect 150bhp or more (but how it drives is more important than headline numbers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full details can be seen herehttp://c7cat.com/Zetec_conversion.htmWhat he said, the Zetec engine is the cheap bit, the "incidentals" run into many thousands! I think that the X Flow price is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
