Obviously, you could slap on a supercharger or turbo and make about the same or more, but I wanted a bada$$ naturally aspirated build. I overpaid on some things, I know for sure, but for the price I paid, I was satisfied knowing a VERY reputable shop did all the work. Plus getting to hear it on the dyno was very worth it. In total, I am aboouuuut $15,000 into this engine build. The bill from the machine shop for ALL parts (including the Dart block, forged internals, and heads)...except the oil pan ($507), rockers (came with old engine), and intake (came with old engine) was about $12,600 (that included engine dyno time and tuning). Then you add in upgraded clutch, aluminum flywheel, that $507 FRPP oil pan, new low-mount alternator kit, etc, and its definitely around $15,000... Absolutely! I will get some videos uploaded in the next few days....got to get some sleep tonight, the plan is to drop the engine in tomorrow afternoon!</blockquote>
