Default Worlds cheapest HCI core parts, have I set the record?

Okay, so I scored big at the junkyard today. I think I've managed to put together one of the cheapest core-HCIs on the site.

Scored these today, $88. Need some machining and cleaning, but can't beat the price!!:






Scored this a few weeks ago, $63:




I'm also getting a B303 for $50. Grand total: $201 for all the core HCI parts. This isn't including gaskets, machine work on the heads, roller rockers, etc... A big thanks to ZachW04Stang for helping pull them!!

I think I did damn well!

i think i did better... i used parts alreadyy on my car cobra intake and gt-40 heads... hehe... im a smart *** i know... ull spend less than me... im working my stock heads a ton... also got a custom grind cam... it cost me about 2 grand... but thats with a custom cam and the heads are goin to flow like 185s... but they will have a lil more flow at lower lift... along with a nice port on the lower... for 250 i can get hte upper honed... but the cobra should flow enough.... congrats on the finds way to be patient
