Guess we need to see more timeslips. I am a visual guy and short of Dustin and Ray have not seen to many slips at all. Also what kind of money do those two have in their set ups? I am genuinely curious. FWIW I have nott seen to many cheap core engines but I am sure they are out there. We considered it for my old truck at one point and may again.
This was everything including shipping costs for these parts. Aside from a few trips to the hardware store of course. Including the entire ignition system, headers etc. I could replicate the long block pretty inexpensively.
Not cheap, but everything was new, and I opted for the more expensive route on things like the water pump, custom pistons, rocker hold downs, head studs etc. Ray can chime in as well, he mentions in that thread where he managed to save money.
