THANK YOU EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND GUIDANCE!! I will keep you posted and have pictures as the build progresses.
I read this article a thousand times before I even thought of rebuilding I was going to go with the kit you guys provided but everything had to be built from top to bottom.......Nothing was reusable the heads are a iffy. I will e-mail you sir! just for advice and guidance I am posting my quote now...maybe you can tell me if its worth a #@$@
The afr gauge electronics i believe.
Work consumes 15hrs of my life a day. I get 1 day off a week which I was driving the Shelby now i hibernate and dream of the day it runs again. I was considering taking my time over years and buy used parts, but we never know when we will have the opportunity to have a motor built by a shop, or if we will wake up the next day. So I pulled the trigger knew I was keeping the car after the bad news since its still underpayments. I then spoke and thought why just spend 8 to 10k on a used long block and pay for all that labor when in all reality I want a street driven monster..........You all inspire me!! But i did buy a set of JDM Super street cams from a user online for a reasonable price but had to buy the springs separately. So I hope the ferrea springs work well with it. I also figured while building as we grew this figure to this number over time....I would read something or watch something about someones motor breaking. I would upgrade. h beam to the I beam. Then to the heavy springs , then was like if you are rebuilding my head why not sending it off for porting.
And also Labor isnt anything its the knownledge and ability to know what parts go together well to make huge horsepower and Dan At pro dyno has proven time and time again that he knows his shit or the streets wouldnt be covered in Pro dyno Wrapped cars. You say 10k in labor? I see 5k. Parts alone are running me at 9,000 or so.
