Forging estimates
Few of you guys know, im dropping in a brand new 3.8L motor into my 99, wondering about what it will cost to forge the internals completely. Crank/rods/pistons/valves/heads.
Plan would be to completely forge it now, and than slap on a d-1sc and run around 15lbs of boost on it by the end of summer . Just looking at costs.

I'm looking at Super Six Motorsports atm, any other suggested retailers?

So i'm looking in the ball park of around 2500$ to "build" the engine? which is deffinately doable. Than add the boost towards the end of summer.

Built motor (forged, ported heads, intakes, cam, RR's, bigger valves,) gonna be around 5000+

RE: Forging estimates
Why buy a forged crank? The 4.2 crank has shown to be strong as hell,600 hp+ Also it makes for a nice addition of torque espically when you add boost into the mix. You are not going to build a good engine for $2500, maybe a shortblock, but not the longblock. Fpr refrence here is what i have spent on my shortblock:
4.2 crank - $190
block - $300
forged pistions and rods - $1360
machine work on the block - ???
