1. 390 crank, $150. 390 rods, $80, from DSC
2. Machining, block and heads, figure $400, depending on machininst
3. $280 for L2291 forged pistons, $51 for rings, from Summit Racing
4. $30 for air grinder and bits, locally obtained
5. Edelbrock RPM intake, $260 from DSC
6. Crane 343941 cam, $110, from Jegs, DSC may have it cheaper, Lifters $60 from DSC, springs $46 from DSC
7. Pushrods, $40, New adjustable rockers, $368, rocker shafts, $40, all DSC
8. Headers, Variable cost depending on application, I'll figure $150
9. Fel-pro full gasket set, $66 from Summit Racing
Total comes to 1 (one) small fortune, or $2131, depending on your bank account.
I suggest you copy and paste this, as I'll repeat this is absolutely the LAST time I spend 40 minutes looking up prices.
