Big Block Conversion $$$

I know that the numbers have been debated here over and over again. BUT, heres my ACTUAL total for doing a 440/727/8.75. This includes buying the motor, trans, 8.75 suregrip rearend, aluminum radiator/fan, trans cooler, 440 t-bars, sway bar, new shocks front and rear, schumacher spool mounts, disc brake conversion up front, rebooting and bushing the entire front suspension, and Im sure a few other things that Im not thinking of off of the top of my head. Right now Im sitting at $4800 and the only additional expense that I have coming (outside of little odds and ends) is shortening the drive shaft. I did get some really good deals along the way as well as some EXCELLENT advice from the awesome people here to help me out. Just some food for thought as you decide which way to go. Good luck and keep us posted as how you decide to go!!
