Chris was very helpful on the phone. I will pick their brains some more at the fest.
Just for thoroughness, a brand new stock long block is 4500.00.
Have I learned my lesson and want to just run it back with all stock and no cam?
Probably not.
A long block that I'd want from Livernois would run around 8500.00.
WAY over my budget.
But it would be a plug and play Forged 419 that I could toss in, throw the maggie on and go.
There is also a 396 that I can get for much cheaper, also with forged pistons that would save me enough money to help with the head/valvetrain costs.
It's an expensive buffet that must effectively satisfy all food groups.
I have plenty of time. Gotta save some money.
