Maybe that much in Oz with all of the shipping charges you guys have to endure, but my friend in the dragster has less than $20K in his and almost $6K was in the Engler Fuel Injection, and dry sump system. I forgot to mention, they don't have have any provision for wet-sump oiling, so dry-sump is a necessity.
Using ex Nascar pieces will save you a ton of $$$$, but I was referring to an engine from a Comp Elim style engine builder using new parts. The top end alone will eat up $10-20K. Price up a SB2.2 engine at Patterson's or Rick Watters and you will see what I mean
