Thanks,Dennis...Thumpman...I do not have the skills or the tools to do such a job..Jimmy is a perfectionist when it comes to an engine build...When he says he is giving me 700 HP...You can take that to the bank!!

Just out of curiosity (sp) ?
What is a ball park figure to build a 512 ?
I will be getting a muscle motor kit also.
Just the short block.

I think the stroker kit is around $2,000?
Heads with good springs/retainers/rockers $3,000+?
Roller cam/lifters/timming chain/pushrods $1,000?
Intake/carb $1500?
Oil pan/pump/windage tray Maybe $500?
machine work $1000-$1500?

So maybe $9,000 if you can do the assembly and reuse ignition/water housing and pump/pulleys/radiator and exhaust?

Add some trick parts or porting and I'm sure the cost will go up. You may be able to do it a bit cheaper too, but I think it would be difficult at the 700 range without compromising durability?
The place where you could save some $$$ is if you can get a good used intake and carb and/or oil pan?

There may be some margin in the numbers for small stuff like gaskets and hardware

I could go get all my bills and add them up to see the actual cost, but I did my build over a few years and for two engines so I would need to seperate out the costs of each engine.

That sounds more like a 500 HP engine?
You would be limited to the springs/retainers of the $1500 heads, and $300 for cam/lifters limits you to a flat tappet cam?

Here is some costs...Sure I will forget something..
Muscle Motors 512 kit...2029.00
Block...Don't know...It was Jimmys,I have to replace it with another..
Machine shop...Over 500.00
New roller cam and springs bought from Russ(Old Racer) 160.00..Profiled at Comp Cams..40.00
Roller lifters,stud kit,new oil pump,bronze drive and other stuff from Summit Racing..Around 1000.00..I already have the MP heads,M-1 intake and carb..Static pickup from the Source..55.00. New Mallory billet dual point Dizzy...20.00 from a swap meet guy..Also thru in a low deck Uni-lite..(needs repair)..This is just a few things I remember...There will be more stuff,I am sure...
The look on my face when I drop the hammer the first time...Priceless,Baby!! I am very stoked about this build and Jimmy is a professional on his builds! He can build anything at his shop but prefers Mopars!! I strongly reccomend him for anyone needing chassis work,engine builds or tranny work..
