hemi build up?

much taller!

I agree on the 30k reply.I think you can build one lot cheaper than that.The fuel injection and stacks plus manifold,might be what spikes the price on his build...

I had alittle over 20k in the 572 wedge motor I built acouple years ago,and it was packed full of good parts,jesel,callies,indy,etc..I know it was a wedge,but geeze!

you can build a Hemi for under $25K

mine is going to be under $25K with the aluminum block

Any chance I could get a picture of the stage v intake from the bottom, like in up side down?
Defbob, what body is that going in?

My '71 Challenger

I shopped around and save some money by looking for good deals. I went with a new World Iron block. Aluminum is nice, and light, but expect to be 30-40 hp down from the same Iron block
So here is a run down of what I went with everything new except the pistons.

-4.5 bore World block $2500
-4.5 stroke 4340 crank $700
-I beam pro rods $600
-Weisco pistons $150 slightly used from board member
-DLI rockers stands etc ($1800 from board member
-MP/Edelbrock head $3300 + CNC ported from Modern Cylinder head.. The flow 460cfm or so. also setup for correct springs to match my cam spec ready to go.

I went with a solid flat tappet cam which was a custom deal, and some EDM Howards AMC lifters. Im just waiting from the machine shop to balance, finish bore, fit all clearances etc.
I still need new Oil pump, oil pump drive, timing set, push rods, gaskets rings, and bearings which my machinist will supply upon completion of machine work. Engine will have either a MP cross ram, or Indy setup. Total price should come well under $20K so compared to the last wedge I built, the Hemi is just as cheap, although my wedge as aluminum Indy block, and the price diff between the two payed for the more expensive parts like rocker gear etc.. I have no idea for power, the heads are good enough to make 800+HP IMO. Should be right there..And be streetable as well.

BTW
I have pics of any and all this stuff, flow sheets etc, if you want to see anything let me know

This is what I did on my street build up,

World products block prepped by Barton, Honed to match fit the pistons, Align bored, decked, and lifter bushings installed. About $3900.
1 - Comp roller cam and lifters
2 - K1 4.5 stroke crank from Dram
3 - K1 7.0 chevy journal, width rods, .990 pin from Dram
4 - Diamond 4.5" 11 to 1 comp pistons from Dram
5 - Indy CNC ported Legend heads
6 - Milodon pan modified for single static pickup
7 - HV pump and using the pre-machined oil suction in the front of the block.
8 - Block did not require any additional clearancing for the 4.5 stroke.

A couple of things that I also will comment on. If you use a 7.0" rod, your pistons won't require an oil support rail because the .990 pin won't break into the oil ring land.
I don't know what the Indy head pricing is compared to everyone else but it is worth checking into since there heads have integrated stands and they may offer a package deal with the rockers. If you choose this route, by them from a supporting vender and not direct.
The K1 crank and rods are about the best budget crank and rods out there. I have had eagle and other supporting venders stuff that I won't mention so I have a good idea on comparison.

World block, Scat 4.5" crank, 9.5: pistons, etc...
Typical rotating assembly - nothing trick or expensive.

The only "special stuff" to the basic motor was:
* A very smooth plateau-hone using a gapless top ring and a "hooked groove" second. (Yes - the hone was more expensive to do). Pistons install with a "seating powder" not WD40 or oil.
* Cam specs are different, but not any more expensive.
* Heads only had a valve job.
* KB rocker stands and Comp valve train.
* Used a new "reverse flow" water pump from Meziere. (Had to drill air-bleed holes in the heads to use reverse flow).

This rings seated in 10 minutes and have produced very good results for me for a street engine. Other engines I've built with these rings really keep the oil clean after many miles. Leak down is nil.

The cam has a very wide lobe separation (114-116) with nominal lift (.600). Durations are 240-ish intake and 250-ish exhaust (@ .050). This is what gives this engine such good manners from idle on.

You can go really inexpensive if 800 is really where you want to be. Going forced will pile the dollars on right along with the power. To save every buck you can here's what I'd do.

Scat 4.5 crank
H beam 7.1 rod
11.5:1 piston from any of the big companies with a standard 1/16 1/16 3/16 moly ring package
SV replacement head with basic port work (bowls-port entry stuff) stainless valves
Indy roller rockers on steel stands
mega, or world block Iron. Move the pickup over and use 5/8 pickup, keep it internal for cost.
solid flat tappet with chain drive
Indy small plenum 4500 single 4
OTB holley 1050
steel tray and milodon pan

It'll make over 800 and be about as cheap as you can go. Going forced means throw all that out the window and get ready to get off the hip

My build is similar to others here. 572"

World aluminum block
Block honed and prepped @ FHO for CP 10.5 pistons
Diamond rings
Stage V replacement heads CNC ported @ MCH
Stage V rockers T&D shafts, Hi Tech stands
K1 crank
K1 7.100 rods
Comp solid FT Nitrided and using Howard's EDM lifters
.620" .630" 258* and 263* @ .050 108 LSA
Milodon dual swinging pu pan HV pump
MP cross ram with FHO lids or Indy single intake
Probably 2 770 SS carbs
MP tach drive dist.
Chain drive for cam
MP water pump assy

I am not sure what HP level to expect.

Hemi Allstate, Just wondering what the stage v cnced heads flowed after they were ported? Planning on building a 604ci hemi for my GTX and not sure which heads to buy.

I also used the Stage-V replacement heads. With only a good valve job and smoothing the seat areas (no additional porting) they flowed 388 (int)and 277 (exh), measured at .700 lift.

WOW.....that's about what i was hoping for.Thanks

Thanks Hemi Allstate, Thats roughly what i would be hoping for. my motor will be a pump gas 604ci.

New MP/Edelbrock castings

I got a buddie that just bought in a package deal, a fresh 572 with all the goodies long block, with virgin Mopar heads separete, but the long block is very nice.. He maybe looking to broom !!
