Phew....about 5 grand and counting! I'll try to break it down best I can
about the parts in my engine:
Engine and tranny $1825
Shipping $ 560
Rebuild (w/forged) $1250
Matched 30# Inj. $ 200
1.7 RR Crower $ 400
Roller Timing Chain $ 50
MP Springs $ 0 (Mike D is the man!)
MP Retainers $ 60
Electric fan&Acc $ 100
BM Shifter $ 130
MP Valve Covers $ 130
Misc crap $ 300
-----------------------------------------------
Total: $5005
Like I told everyone else, if you got a V8 the 318/360 swap is a huge waste
of time. For $5K you can make one mean-ass V8 if you got one already. No
reason dumping all of it into another 42 cubic inches.
