** Edelbrock Heads, black finned valve covers, water pump, & black finned dual quad air cleaner - I got all of these brand new in the boxes for $1700 off of Craigslist. The boxes are dated 2008. They were the deal that started this whole thing. I initially bought the stuff thinking I'd sell it all for a decent profit. Instead it's costing me $$$, but I'm loving it!!

Total $1455 (plus a little more machine work)
Plus everything in Bold $9565

About 1 - 2 years later:
Induction: Hopefully one of Aubrey's Speed Port 7000 single planes $750
Intake Heat Shield - Part of the Speed Port 7000 (standard part with it)
Holley #80496 - HP950 carb - already have
($350 used)
CNC Cylinder Head Port work $1000
So....another $1700 for a grand total of $3205
Adding this last section is kinda negligible since I would have the #881 intake, carbs, aluminum air cleaner, etc. to offset it by a lot. As well as the unused Edelbrock Water pump that came in that pkg deal, and a good crank that came with the block. Should about break even on the second stage I hope.
It SHOULD
still be under $10 grand after all is said and done.
