I have headers/y pipe/full exhaust and moroso CAI; plan on gearing to 4.10's, strut bar and probably sub frame connectors in a few weeks.
I don't expect $3,000-3,500 to build the entire motor, I figure it will cover my rods/pistons/rings/bearings, intake porting, and cam/lifters/timing chain and close to covering most of my heads.
I'd still need/want injectors, throttle body, gaskets, electric water pump, tune, aftermarket ignition?, and whatever else I'm forgetting.

I figure realistically it will take about a year to build and I figure I'd have around 6 grand into it. Probably will change the clutch at this point as well so add $500 more. Plan on running rear til it goes.
