I just dropped off my gt40p heads at the machine shop. Im getting them acid bathed, magnafluxed, checked for straight, 5 angle valve job, new springs, retainers, keepers - for about 200 bucks. a lot cheaper than i thought it would be. just thought i would share that info, next step is i'm gonna buy a block from that shop too.

 

you going to build the engine from the ground up

 

Yeah I'm building a whole new engine so there isnt any downtime on my mustang and i can just get parts when i have the money instead of rushing to get it done. and when i get most of the way done with my new engine im gonna part out my old engine for money.

 

thats thhe way to do it and do it right to no rush so you get better parts

 

thats what i thought. im getting forged everything, all name brand stuff. i figure its gonna cost me about 4300.

 

get it all insured!!!!!!

 

yeah i will for sure. the car is in my dads name so insurance is really cheap anyways.

 

ok good, the only reason i said that was incase you get in a wreck. i've had lots of friends with built 5.0's and GM f-bodies that crashed, or got hit by a drunk driver (that's the worst)... and a couple were screwed out of a lotta money... there's a lot to consider with an engine build in a street car :P
