[QUOTE]Originally posted by JohnB: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by bottled95GT??: [qb] Whoa at that interior lmfao [/qb][/QUOTE]Yup, it's red. lol No dyno numbers yet. I want to have it completely finished before I strap it down. Looks like I will through a smaller pulley on it too, I'm only seeing 7 psi. As for the total, here goes: $2700- complete car minus longblock, given a truckload of extra parts and various stock items $40- stock bore 302 shortblock $70- valve springs and seals $260- rings, bearings, gaskets $75- oil, filter, plugs, sealant, cleaning supplies. $20- 2 each 1.7 rockers $60- B cam $25- intake spacer $25 oil pump $3275 total I did the the cleaning, honing, traded work for the cam bearing install, and did the build of the shortblock myself. Heads are GT40p's with portwork done and converted them to stud mount rockers. I did the valve job and spring setup as well. I had the majority of the rockers, the studs, and the timing chain set from a previous project. Pushrods, valve covers, headers, ARP hardware, intake, dizzy, and the rest of the supporting hardware in the engine bay came with the car. I sold the following: T-rex pump $75 Vortech crank pulley $150 small billet fuel rails $60 MSD coil $25 255 fuel pump $65 24# injectors $85 Stock intake, TB, MAF $50 Drivetrain from my previous project (4v and T45) $600 3 vortech head unit pulleys $100 $1210 profit from various parts So when all was said and done, looks like I'm into the car for about $2100. Still have to finish the AC, align it, and register it...so $2300 is a fair estimate. Bear in mind that I started with ALOT of aftermarket parts and did all the work myself, there was nothing done by a shop other than the cam bearing install by a friend who came to me for it. If I did it again, I'd buy a set of heads either done already or aluminum ones...there is a ton of time in these between the porting and the valvejob/reassembly. Hope everyone enjoyed the build. If anyone has questions on the setup, what parts I used, etc...feel free to post up or PM me. :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]
