Competition Wow - $30,000 for a Cummins Race Diesel

did you extrude hone the hell out of it,

Ummmm, what?

also looks like you are running a common rail cylinder head,

Yeah, it's one of those new common rail heads with the 6 valve covers on them instead of those older CR heads with the big, long one-piece covers.

sorry little guy there was sooo much chrome shining in my eyes i did'nt notice the valve (covers) i saw three forward bolt holes on the plenum where a tps would be mounted. :-laf, extrude hone is Abrasive Flow Machining...

Hmmm. A crate motor from Cummins costs what? $6,000 maybe? $30,000 is a fair price for one of Dan Scheid's competition engines. Yes, you could build your own for that price, but it wouldn't sound the same and it probably wouldn't run as well as a Scheid motor.

Ok i was mistaken. I didn't know it was a schied motor. I was thinking it was a schied knock off with a bunch of their parts. Guess i should've looked a little closer

Interesting you said this. I just now read the ebay add. Says built by BEESON. Who the hell is that? I can order a schied pump and a bunch of parts and build an engine.



It does say schied tuned. Kent could be any kent.

Its still way cheaper than BMW M7 and alot more versatile

I think for that kind of money I can get real creative and have some thing I built myself. It may not be the same but I would still have the wife, house and truck I built. Maybe u guys have money to burn but I think that u are buying the name and not engine..... . . .
