Doing the work yourself is going to help a lot on labor since the costs above are just for the parts. If you get this going it will be a great build since no one has done a NA build yet like this.
Definitely forgot about that $6k for the stroker Thanks for the reminder.

I see a lot of posts dealing with squeezing power out of that poor little six. How about going the Shelby/AC-Bristol route?
Cuz its probably been done before and I want to put it together myself

I really appreciate all the input guys! Really. I hear what you're saying about bang for buck, but its really a firm goal to stay natural and build it. I know turbo or sc would be faster and better for the $ but its too easy for me. Like I said I love being a little different ya know? I only want 400-450wheel and then I'd move on to another project so I'm not intending to go past that so im not too worried about spending double or triple what it'd cost for FI.

Again thanks for the input! keep it comin
