Hey guys just was wondering how much it would be to forge my internals, I'm only looking for 500rwhp max, so I don't need the best of the best, I just Am trying to get a ballpark number on how much I could forge my internals for,
Figure about 1-2k or so for parts then another 1k for machining labor.
So to have a built shortblock is going to be around 2-3k depending on the quality of parts you get. This of course means that you do all the other labor, as in taking the engine out then putting it back in. If you're not doing that yourself figure another k or so for that labor.
If that's the route you want to take you're better off piecing it together. I got my brand new v3si for $1680 on corral.Yeah I seen a 3,800 kit from Anderson that's comes with a v3 head unit (I want the self lubrication), and it come with brackets accessories and power pipe, says all I need is injectors and tune,no believe it even comes with a 255 walbro pump, now if I want intercooled what intercooler should I buy, do I need a blow through or the other setup can't remember the name, and how do I mount the intercooler, I'm looking for 9 psi intercooled

The powerpipe will have extra fittings you'll need to plug if you run an intercooler.. kinda pointless to buy when you can have a better one made for less.
All you'll need is the
vortech (b) discharge tube $125
Vortech mounting kit. $299
96 water pump pulley. $100
And everything else will be custom bought by you. I'm going the exact same build right now. When I get home I'll post some pics.
Intercooler is a treadstone 1245
Tial q blowing
Hpx slot meter
80# deka's
Aeromotive 340 in tank
Cop conversion
3" piping from treadstone
Which is why I'm asking how people are intercooling them?...Such as yourself if I bought a v3 kit from Anderson what else would I need to do to intercool it? And the procharger kits don't come with injectors, gauges, maf either, so I'd rather but the vortech kit for 2,200 less and peice everything else together
