Quote: Not trying to be a wise-a$$$,,,but I was talking about the price of QUALITY parts, not stock parts..I don't want to end up with a failure like you had..again, no insults intended. Still pals..?
what exactally are you spending all this money on?
i have 4k in mine. granted i got a deal on a used short bock but still cheap vs anything else
Good rods, good pistons, good valves/springs/retainers etc.,,6.1 heads, carb intake, MSD box to fire coils, cylinder machining, camshaft/lifters, the normal stuff. I just had heard on here they were cheap, as you yourself are saying, I don't see it that way. Not trying to up-set ANYONE, just making conversation of the topic....
I'm not talking about stock parts either. I'm talking about the aftermarket parts as well. Again, the items I spoke of and the ones you mentioned aren't any more expensive than any other engine platform.
And, no offense taken. My new stroker short block will be plenty stout to prevent what happened with the stock short. And, I'm using a 5.7 block this time, as they are plentyful!
Still pals..?
