The motor was $1200 and only had 10,000 miles on it. I thought I was going
to just replace the cam, port the heads and drop it in. I have an
additional $2200 in engine parts and machine work. $330 for the headersand
y/pipe, $200 for ceramic coating, $220 for a Random Tech 3" Cat, $120 for
the Borla muffler, $250 for the custom exhaust. $230 for the Mopar hipo
computer. Looks like $3750 altogether.
