[QUOTE="manolith, post: 13245842, member: 123563"] thats not the point. i know what it takes to transfer the heads from one block to another. but what im saying is that you pretty much have a complete motor with the aluminator. thats why it costs that much. you can sell your stock coyote long block for around 4 grand and for an extra 3700 bucks you can have an aluminator. in the end you wont really save much by building your short block. the low compression aluminator already has billet oil pump gears. if you put a $$ figure on the time you will spend on the tear down and add the cost of machining and the rotating assembly and head gaskets and oil pump gears the amount of money that you will spend building your short block will be about the same or more than what you can get an aluminator for which it all could be done in less than a day. ofcourse you can build your short block to be stronger than the short block on the aluminator but it will cost more than 4 grand. this is all assuming that you have a healthy coyote but usually when you built your short block is a healthy one because most of the time when they pop the block is history.
