[QUOTE="Gruca, post: 15938646, member: 153163"] So I just built mine myself (except the machine work I paid to have done). I used Manley h-beams, arp2000 bolts, new boss crank, and Manley 11:1 pistons. Everything forged. In retrospect, had I not destroyed my OPGs, I would’ve just bought the built short block and called it a day. Building it myself was cool and all...and being able to triple check all the specs and timing and such seems like it would be a relief to know it’s correct, but it isn’t. You still second guess everything and are scared you messed up somewhere or forgot something. I’d buy a sleeved short block, bolt up everything to it using ARP hardware, and call it a day. After buying all the parts, paying the machine shop, random shit breaking here and there, it adds up very quickly. I probably spent around $4,500 doing it myself, which includes the machine shop, the rotating assembly, and the random hardware and parts. Mine is not sleeved though. [/QUOTE]
