Hi all!
What will it cost to have an enginebuilder to build a complete dynotested 605cui pumpgas around 900hp with low maintenance?
And who is the guy to do it??

As for the costs I would say just throw out a mail to a couple of them engine builders to see what their advice would be along with a quote. I don't think these guys will post a quote on here. Myself I THINK it takes around 20-25k. Why not a 636ci by the way.

For engine builders, maybe guys like "For Hemis Only", "Best Machine", "Dram", "BG Racing" or whoever might chime in... There will be more with experience in that area here.

Good luck!

We can build you a 572 with that HP rating for $20k-$23k, depending on the details.

605 requires a raised cam and a 572 does not. 605 does seem like a nice displacement and the extra 30+ cubes would help out some. My motor is costing me $25K+ I am building an aluminum street 572ci. I could build a motor that will make the same power and be the same size for probably 5k less than mine is costing me (using different parts) Mine has no compromises though.

My guess on price would be 25k+ for a HEMI of that power and size. The quality of the parts obviously dictates the price of the completed engine. What it boils down to is who is going to complete the labor the cheapest. It seems that all the major engine builders get about the same deal on parts. Im not sure what the engine builders are getting to build there engines labor wise including machining costs. I could easily see that engine getting up to $30k with good parts i.e. World block, Callies crank, Carrillo Rods, CP pistons, Stage V Raised port heads, Stage V rockers, etc. .. You may be able to find an older Mega block for cheaper, buy a Eagle crank, Eagle rods, JE pistons, Indy rockers etc. for cheaper. I would go with the better stuff on a HEMI. Thats just me personally.
Anyways, there are many good engine builders on this site.

FHO...

Mine`s a 875HP (dyno`d 875h / 750ft/lbs )557" Ray Barton / KB motor with JE pistons , Oliver Rods , Bryant crank , and am running the RBRE independent rocker system . Like the guy said above 20 - 24k
Or you could take your chances and buy a crate from MP Perf for 14k and it would look similar.
Chryco

As mentioned many times FHO
He has raised cam blocks in stock and loves to build big cubic inch motors.

I thought you could build a 604 (4.50 x 4.75) without having to go to a raised cam block by using steel rods?
Oh, I'm talkin the superior wedge engine of course

Only thinking about changing spark plugs would make me go Hemi Tig...

Yes, it's nice to dig them out of those 1 ft holes and also remove and install them everytime you take teh valvecovers off. a few more leak possibilities crown the package.

you can get two piece tubes so you don't have to remove the plugs

Thanks for all input and thoughts!This board is the best
So i think around 20-25k is where i can get me a good engine.
Once again a big thanks
But keep on with more input

Wow i really get a picture on board this time

yep you did, and thats a sweet looking Dart...well deserving of an FHO hemi!
