The cost, let's see. I had $850 in the heads bare. $1000 in valves, $400, in springs, and retainers, $600 in work from Al Parker, $300 in a used block, $245 in a used crank from Karl Lampkin, $500 used pistons from Patterson, $200 in a used pan off the net, $1700 in a star pump, $400 in a strip dominator, $200 in a used set of T and D rockers, $700 in new groden rods, $500 in rings, and bearings, a used jesel belt for $250, a carb from dambest at $1000, (i sent him a carb) $85 in a supersucker, $200 in pushrods, and comp lifters at about $350. I'm just trying to be honest here. You could spend more, but the results would be similar. That's $10,280 total, carb to pan. Take out the vac pump, and you could have a good block. You could also outlaw the titanium valves.
