So you want 2 go Big block...Read this first!

Heres my last small block build. I got some screaming deals

500hp 340 $2500
built 904 and converter $500
TTI headers $700
Trans Dapt mount kit $65
Drive shaft $50
Torque Tech 3" exhaust kit $500

Thats as far as I got before selling the car. I was way over $4000 with all the small parts not including the price for the car.

If your starting from scratch it doesnt cost anymore to go with the big block.

I stick to small block pretty much because I know my way around them better and have some parts laying around.

but adam, your comparing a REALLY built SB to a bare bones BB build, that same thing but BB would cost
your engine is $1500 more than my BB op top, you exhaust is $250 more, your headers are $500 more, your tranny is $300 more. $2550 more

add it to the big block build... over $7300!!! I am just asking to compare like builds to like builds. no comparison if you do a bare bones build
