Yeah if i wanted H beams I'd save 1k . Also the heads arent stock they are built livernois heads lol... I decided why spend another 5k down the road. just have it built to go vroom. and they are only charging 985 to install the motor and tune it....That price is hideous.
Can't you get a complete long block for $8k or so?

I would imagine the ford dealer would only charge a couple thousand to install said long block?
Shit, for $18,500 you could convert it to a forged Coyote with a blower and crush everyone. Serious.
your telling me its like no lube city over here.
I dont really know if i can trust that add not to much information... To find heads alone used are like 3k....this add claims brand new heads and the only ones I could find were at livernois performance Dave wants 4700 for the pair.... If that wasnt a purchase my motor would only cost 12k...which is reasonable with parts and work that are going into it. They did spend a lot of time cleaning up the parts and we decided to go brand new on everything......That price is hideous.

I did reach out to that particular individual if he has a long block I'll go that route!Not second-guessing your choices... just want you to know there are cheaper options!
Pro-dyno, from everything ive read, is a great group of people!
No the heads aren't cracked but with porting and new guide valves and a valve job. Put me at 3800..... these are a 13 14 head fully built for 4700.Valves and guides can be replaced. Are your heads cracked? It would seem someone could rebuild them for a lot less than the route you're going.
Slawko heads are running a sale. Porting and valve job for $1500. Havent checked on guides yet but i cant imagine them costing more then $50 eachNo the heads aren't cracked but with porting and new guide valves and a valve job. Put me at 3800..... these are a 13 14 head fully built for 4700.
.... Vmp or Whipple 2.9 are more appropriate for stock forgings
Heads aren' trashed just want reliability. Also later porting would cost 3k.How crazy are you wanting to go? If it’s going to be solely a fun street car I wouldn’t spend $5000 on cylinder heads. That could be used elsewhere or saved. As stated above unless your heads are trashed.....
I’d only do the heads if you’re going balls deep, needing every single bit of horsepower
describe needs lololol...Wow! You need someone here to put together a build list for you, that caters to your exact wants and needs... Then get a quote on that.
