You get everything except the rods and a quick balancing done for you. On that combo though I'm betting closer to 450+rwhp and 550+tq or more, so I'd add a built tranny to the list (lightnings came with a 4r100 which you may be able to retrofit... maybe). With a blower, stay with the lower gears. 3.55's are great for me.. anything more seems excessive for most street applications. A lightning bottom end should be less than 1500 bucks. Anything more is kinda silly without upgrades. I know for a fact if you guys take 1500 bucks over to my thread at Mustangboards.com and talk to chip you'll be able to buy his motor which is unassembled but has PIMP components. You'll be getting a motor with 1200 bucks in the rods and pistons already, not counting the bearings, crank, etc...</p></blockquote><p></p>
