If a guy was gonna start from scratch with say a 6.1 block and eventually put it in an A body, would it be an expensive deal to acquire the necessary accessory brackets,sensors, trigger wheels etcetera to get it to pop? I have a Fast EZ efi on my BB now but it looks like the intake that has decent fuel distribution is $900 too. You can get a block for right around 1K and I would build a 426 anyway but a complete 6.1 is usually 5K plus. I would probably grab some Apache heads from the dealer as well. What would be the smartest approach to building this thing is you're starting with nothing?



I did all the math and decided to just buy a new 6.4 replacement engine. Looks like prices went up a couple hundred bucks from when I bought in December and the harness isn't included anymore.

I received a complete automatic engine with exhaust manifolds for $5,703, no core charge. Great deal to me compared to piecing all the parts together. I only want to make 550 at the crank with a cam swap and headers, so it should be fine. Going to run the 2009 computer for the VVT and eliminate the MDS.
