Well its basically 3000 for a rebuilt block, then he said its really worth it to get a port polish the heads, so thats from fox lake and thats $1700 for stage 2, then anderson cams probably. I heard 2 cars there with cams and it was the smallest one that didnt really have alot of lope but you gain like 40rwp from cams he said. Cams about $600. The killer part is the labor, he said its about $1600 to put a shortblock in, its cheaper to put a longblack in but shortblock you have to retorque the heads to put on new shortblock when back from fox lake or whatever. Am I looking at the good stuff? I really dont want to buy one online because where am i shipping this and so on, its about the same price if i got it locally. I want like under 600rwhp about like 550, idk. Obviously i need 60lb fuel injectors and cobra pumps/tank. What about fuel rails he said? I know alot of guys on here got a new shortblock.
