[QUOTE="NXSVTCOBRA, post: 1832942, member: 19987"] total cost isn't gonna be that much since i already had most of the parts when i spun a few bearings, and also i bought a lot of stuff when they were on sale, my opinion is to start buying things little by little when your car is running, then whenever you decide its time to rebuild you already have most or all the parts you need, for just the short block with all of the machining work, and parts im right around $2k which i think is pretty good, i caught the pistons while they were on sale, the bearings were given to me at the machine shops' cost (Clevite 77), now the heads are whats pricey, thats why im just going to run stock heads and cams until i find a good buy on some navigator heads and port those and put the cams, valves, valves springs and steel retainers in...... i was hoping to start the build-up tomorrow morning but 1 thing, maroone ford down here in miami hires unexperienced people for the parts desk and he had no clue what he was doing, and ordered me the wrong things because his computer showed him pictures of what to order even though i told him what i needed, so either its gonna be here today @ 3pm or tomorrow @ 3pm :bored: bastards as for the build-up if you have basic mechanical knowledge, a good manual and have a good sense of where everything goes, im sure you can do it yourself, the heads are a little tricky, for those you might want to have some one with experience to help you on them once the block is done, i'll post pix and specs of the motor [/QUOTE]
