Quote: How much would you say a build like this one would cost?
Just a ballpark figure?
You might be better off buying a built combo (like the one listed above). I have at least one customer selling his complete engine after the Gen III Hemi shootout in ATCO on 11/4. That combo is setup for E85 but I have tunes for pump gas that I could email you as well as walk you through the "load" process.
PM me if you want me to get a price if you're interested. Otherwise, if you're a "do it yourself" guy, locate a 5.7 core, I have a bunch of 6.1 cranks ($150 each), you can usually find a 6.1 intake for $4-500, and the rest of the parts can easily be priced used or new.
i am building a similar engine. i have the 5.7 and the 6.1 crank.
what rods are you using, the 2.100 drag pack rods, or another part number?
and what about a piston part number?
thanks in advance... and i maybe interested in another 6.1 crank. will you ship?
The cheapest route would to buy a used 6.1 crank, offset grind it for Honda rod journals with a .927" pin and 6.200" center to center which is an Eagle shelf rod. With a 6.125" rod you'll need to clearance the crank throw's. Don't forget to reharden the crank after the crank was reground. We do one step further and cryo treat our offset cranks.
