I will say this. I started with a very clean block. One that was already bored over .030 and had spun a rod due to high rpm oil starvation but appeared to have been shut down very quickly as there was very little glitter when I took it apart.
One thing I didn’t include is the parts I sold off of it. Like the thermoquad the big 1000 cfm one and the AVS carb it came with as a spare. Or the E body oil pan, Or the torker II as previously mentioned, or the adjustable isky rockers which I wish i had kept in hindsight. Even sold the old rods and pistons(13.5:1 Keith blacks). All that would drop my cost to just under 2100 out of pocket.
