I'm sure i'm on the low side but it doesn't seem like a wild build.

My breakdown:

$4k in turbos
$2.5k for the hotside and WG's (Mild steel) Add $2500 for stainless
$2k A/A Intercooler and cold side tubing
$3k for the sheetmetal manifold and t/b.
$9500 short block. Figure a nice block, bowtie/little M, forged crank, H beam rods (crower, maybe oliver), forged pistons (je/cp), timing chain, cam, hydro rollers, machine work, etc.
$5k for normal heads. Complete set of heads. Not counting port work, if any.
$1-2k for misc small stuff, valve covers, oil pan, etc.


It very well could be nearly double my guess, but not knowing what it's built with, kinda hard to say.

25k in a V6, my god man what are you building? Is that including some custom turbo stuff or just long block? thats SB2.2 territory.

Yep it's a twin turbo v6, shooting for around 800hp on pump gas.

Trust me this is the last v6 i will ever build. Everything is custom. The crank was $2800.00 and it took almost 6 months to get direct from Crower. The intake was about the same from Hogan / RPM. Yep building a little motor costs more then a v8 because there just aren't that many stupid people like me doing this. My goal was to be different not broke but in the end i am going to be different and broke.

There are many words that come to mind when looking at thing of beauty like this. That's a sweet build you got going there :thumbsup:

I'm curious about build cost so I can plan for my engine, haven't decided what I am going to do for sure yet, I'm considering big inch rat or a turbo small block.

The Motor Was Run On 91 Octane From Arco At 1025 Hp And Ran 109 Unleaded At 29 Psi Not A Hint Of Detonation Even When We Got It Lean At The End Of The High Boost Pulls.

To Duplicate This Motor Costs 30.000 Thats With 321 Stainless Hedders Intercooler,management,dynoed And Out The Door.some Parts Used Are A Lunati Crank,je Pistons,cnc Ported Brodies With Inconel Valves,sheet Intake,cranktrigger Ignition You Get The Idea Good Stuff Thanks For Your Good Words Tom

Syborg I was just looking at your site earlier today and was checking out the crank. I figured it had to be custom I have never seen a crank with offset rod journals before I guess that strokes the motor.

If you will... how about a small education on timing. I am curious, if you had used an AFR head would your timing be lower for the same HP numbers or what do you contribute it to? I am assuming 0 decked and dish piston.

That is a great looking layout for the twins!

Actually that is how all even fire v6 cranks are. This allows them to run without vibrating you to death like a Harley on Steriods

The Two Ways Of Doing It Some People Like Small Timing Numbers And Less Fuel And Some Like More Timing And More Fuel Whatever Makes The Most On The Pump.every Motor Is Different You Never Really No.

And it idles, too.
 

The other thing Tom didn't mention is that the engine will idle in gear at 700 rpm with 12-15 inches of vacuum. It makes all its power under 6,000 rpm. In the biggest pump-gas trim, it made more than 900 lb-ft from 3800 rpm all the way through 6000 rpm. In a lower tuneup for race gas, it made over 1,000 lb-ft from 3800-up.

Thing is, this is only a 406. Nelson regrets that we didn't just go 427, plus use his new intake and spread-exhaust-port heads. I think our 406 would go 1,550 hp with the right injectors. The 427 combo could be 1,650.
