Default $500 for Tickford drivetrain = ???

Is $500 a fair price for a EF tickford motor/box/harness/computer with 180k on it????

Are these really worth the extra dollars?

I dont think that tickford have a box, but yea if you get the entire engine and stuff for 500 go for it. And tickford have a slightly different head than normal and I think slight higher compression.

Thats a fair price for everything mate id take it. In answer to your question no tickford engines arnt worth the extra premium, however the tickford trans with 3.45 lsd is. But your not paying the premium 500 is a steal grab it.

there is no "tickford trans" there is no "tickford diff" there is only a tickford head and cam. its not worth it when you can get a BIGGER reground cam for 120 from wade and will have alot more power then the ticky cam.
