Very similar to my setup. I have the K1 rods, ARP studs, and Wiseco 9:1 pistons. (We had our rotating assy balanced, and they removed metal on the pistons to match and the car is crazy smooth. I hope yours will be also.)

Staying posted. Thanks for your time showing us.

I had the pistons/rods balanced and then the full rotating assembly balanced with crank pulley and flywheel, so this better be smooth as butter!

Build looks awesome! Very similar to what I would like to do at some point. Would you mind giving me a ballpark idea of what labor costs on something like this?

machine shop costs were about 1600, and another 350 for coating services (pistons/bearings). that will vary depending on the shop of course.

as for engine assembly and installation id say anywhere from 3-6k, its difficult to ballpark these numbers since theres a lot of factors

Thanks! It is definitely a subjective question, since there are so many factors involved. I appreciate the info.
