I priced out all the parts to rebuild the motor before I even bought the car... Thats how I ended up with a mustang over a challenger.. I guess I jynxed myself. Block, crank, rods are all stupid cheap.

You can get a bare block around 950.
Where can you find them that cheap ?

I got one from my dealer for $1019 before taxes .I think it's a little less at Tousely but I would have had to pay $200-300 to ship .

Me and Ken were talking about tbis if it was possible to get a bare block and how much a new one would cost.

Yes sir .
That's why I decided to build a couple of "spare"sleeved motors (reusing some parts from a couple of forged rotating assemblies) for cheap .

Saved even more by using somewhat local(and reputable ) engine builder (BES) so no shipping fees(but tax).

Brand new heads are also cheap and can be had for $Ik(pair) .Brand new timing stuff is less than $500 and cams are like $200.
I am assembling 2 complete long blocks ready to go.....just in case anything happens ...again to the sleeved motors (5.2) in the cars now .

We use TKM, we have a number of motors out there making anywhere from 800-1350 and up depending on power adder without any issues.
