what did you spend ?

I always build my own engines. The 440 I am building for my 63 will cost me about 2k in parts. I do all my own porting and valve work but dont have a milling machine so I have to pay for that. My brother has a boring machine also and the scales to balance everything other then the crank. But I figure by the time I buy all the parts:

piston rings
cam brgs
rod brgs
main brgs
oil pump
oil pan
main studs
head bolts
freeze plugs
dist bushing and shaft
pushrods
rockers and shafts
valves
springs
gaskets
timing chain and gears
and so on !

I figure I will spend close to 2k in parts and I will do all the work myself plus I got my KB pistons and MP .557 cam for free ! Ron
