I bought two 3.8L Ford V6's for $150 each, bought new pistons from Roush racing, new rings, had the best block shot peened bored and honed, had the best crank turned and nitrided, bought new bearings, new cam, new distributer with two sensors installed for dual ignition, new pistons, new timing gears and chain, planed the heads, had four new intake valves installed and new guides installed as well, new valve springs, roller rockers, new lifters, new carburetor, old style NWAero psru, ARP studs for the crank bearings and cylinderheads, fabricated my own headers, and STILL spent only about $6,000. Why not fuel injected? Also, is that two for $3K each? What does that setup weigh? Was matching a prop to your engine a problem? 3 bladed prop? Curious... Montblack |
