I lost track of the $! I'd say probably between $3k-$4k in parts and labor, but I'm really guessing. Lessee:
ARP kit: ~$250
HiPo Balancer: ~$200
bearings (main, rod, cap): ~$150
OZ Head/Intake: $675
Headers (coated): ~$400
exhaust system (mufflers, pipe, install): ~$375
pistons & rings: ~$200
cam: ~$100
lifters: ~$50
pushrods: ~$40
full roller rockers: ~$500
double roller timing: ~$95
Holley, adapter, throttle linkage: ~$300
distributor, rotor, cap, wires, etc: ~$100
MSD: ~$150
block work (hot tank, deck, bore, etc): ~$can't remember exactly but around $300
head work (mill, port/polish, hardened seats, etc): ~$can't remember exactly but around $225
that totals up to around $4110 so I guess I was close at first guess!
hopped up 6 cylinder: $4000
look on peoples faces when I pop the hood: $PRICELESS
As for performance, it's hard to say without Dyno'ing it...haven't gotten to that yet. Based on the calculators/simulators I've seen and used, I'd say I'm putting out between 180-200HP, but again, I'm guessing.
