    We built a JH004 over the winter last year, and the new chassis did win the 2007 championship with a Leastone built engine in it driven by Ken Elliott.
    Any combo will win. The engines are pretty much on a par with each other, but the Dohertys outweigh the Leastone engines almost 4:1. Like wise Sheanes outweigh Leastones by 5:1 at least. So chances its usually a Sheane Doherty that wins. Next year there will be 4 JH004 chassis out, maybe 5.
    I know of a Sheane rolling chassis for sale for at least 8k, and a Sheane with an engine for 9.5k - but just to let you know, I sold my front running Leastone at end of 2007 for 6k. It won the 2008 rookie championship ship at a canter, and had 1 outright podium with a rookie driver. I also know of a Doherty engined Leastone changing hands for around 4k (it does need shocks though), so do have a look around.
    I think a JH004 chassis kit is around 2800 euro, but you must add the beam, shocks, engine, gearbox, electrics, extinguisher, wheels and tyres.
    As for engines, a Leastone one is around 2500 euro, depending on what you supply yourself (heads and that), a Doherty I believe is 3500 stg or so.

    The JH004 is very snug inside, unlke a Sheane, so do bear this in mind.
    We will be running 3 cars next year, a Leastone Jh004/Leastone, a Leastone JH002/Leastone and a Leastone JH002/Doherty, as well as building up a Sheane during the year. Pm if you need any advice or info.
