As much as i like what they are doing, I will say that I don't know how budget friendly this would be for the common man. All 3 of those guys would tell you that 318 hp would come much cheaper if you could just buy performance parts. I think turning a crank to stroke, porting heads and bench flowing, and such as that would be high dollar prices if a common man had to pay it at a machine/performance shop.

Like someone else has mentioned above, they never claimed it was going to be a budget build. Having someone do what they plan to do to any size or brand of engine won't be cheap. I think the idea is to show how to maximize what you are working with which in this case is a BBD fed 318.

Tony said in his latest video something to the effect of "there has been a misunderstanding this isn't a low cost budget build" that in my opinion negates or even alienates a 318 builder.

Exactly about it not being cheap. Wrong on the second part of your statement as I love the 318 but also love using your brain to get the most out of what you have. I think most of you are missing the whole point of the build which is all the little details that add up.
