Which car are we talking? I have well over $5000 in the engine along for my Cobra and the dang thing still hasn't been put into the car yet. I'm still contemplating a cam change, but I already adjusted my rocker arms, and have everything all lubed up, heads torqued down and intake bolted on. Looking at another 1500 in wheels/tires / new paint will roughly be around 1000 once done, interior work, probly another 1000.
But I did just add a satellite radio to the vert and that was another 200 to my ever growing list on the V6.
