Build me a Small block

I would listen to what Moper has to say. I just finished my stroker motor a few weeks ago and can tell you that his numbers $$$ are pretty much right on. For instance, I already had my Edelbrock heads, pro magnum rockers, Air-gap intake, carb, ARP studs, converter, distributer & electronics and all accessories from a previous build. My block needed minimal machining because I had a pretty healthy combo before I rebuilt it. I sent my heads to Ryan @ shadydell for stage 2 port work and assembled the entire engine myself…I still spent over 5k. Not trying to bash, just trying to give a fellow Mopar guy a heads up; there are a lot of little things that add up quick…like custom push rods, valve springs, machining the heads to accept those larger valve springs, 10° locks, retainers, lots of specialty tools. Not to mention that once you have that power you will probably want to get it to the ground (rebuild trans, sticky tires, gears, bigger axles, better brakes)…I could go on and on, but I think you get the point.
My engine combo is on the first page of this thread if you’re interested.

BTW, Ryans port work is AWESOME!! He is THE man when it comes to small block head work.
