Those prices are insane.

I'd be happy to labor the project myself if it means saving $10k.
if we all had the ability to turn each bolt to specification while working 70hr work week. Ummm well I guess thats the trade off a man that knows his shit is building me a from scratch motor to make goal hp.

Reading this broke my heart man, I’m so sorry. I can’t offer you much, but I am willing to help. I have a 66mm L&M TB that was a take off from my build, if you want, it’s yours. Just shoot me a PM and I’ll get it sent out to you. Best of luck with everything that you got. I’ll keep an eye out for more parts that I have.
Thank you very much . I actually luck out in that department unless the huge mono blade throttle body i have doesnt work with the new setup. I will definitely consider it . THank you kind sir!

I have a Mezeire electric water pump listed in the Market section. https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/fs-nib-meziere-electric-water-pump.1148455/ I can't give it to you for free, but in light of your situation, I'll sell it to you at a deep discount from the price I have listed. Hit me up on the ad, if interested. It'll free up a noticeable amount of HP; an amount you can actually feel.

Fair enough it sounds like it will definitely be a pleaser!

Good luck and keep us posted on progress!

PM sent. Looks like there were three prior owners, all in Texas.

And I hate to say it, but the last owner appears to be a high school kid who only owned it for 6 months before selling it to you. I think you see where this is going.

Probably had to choose between rubbers and premium gas.

Those injectors would work pretty well with my bap, to achieve horsepower goals. Im also torn between the vmp or a whipple

Realistically, wait for the Gen 3 VMP. At the very least, wait until its out and has a proper head to head with the 2.9L Whipple Gen 3.
