Obviously when you build a car there are miscellaneous pieces you will need. But you could build this for about $3k.

Miss my post ? I think this is a decent build.

Nope I saw it when you posted and then forgot about it. It's probably going to be the direction I take. I assume that 367hp they claim will be at the crank. I got a quote to bore and hone my engine .030 over will be $225...is that reasonable? Should I also have my crank cleaned up and balanced? It looks to be in really good shape, all the bearings are in good condition.
