Hard for me to believe what people find reasonable these days.........
So far, this is what I have:
Procured one COMPLETE (down to the O2 sensors) 03' LQ9 motor with wiring harness for $1500..
Procured a set of stage II ported heads, with flow sheets, for $600 COMPLETE...
Paid all the money for the FAST 90mm intake $700.
Nick Williams 90mm TB $325.
Procured a Forged Eagle crank, and forged Eagle rods for a 402 brand new for $1200. I could have gone used for even cheaper.
I still need pistons and injectors, but by the time I sell of the stuff from the original motor and build this one, maybe I'll have $5000 into the whole thing and it'll make close to 500 rwhp...
Just do your research and look around. You could build a 1000hp LS-x motor for peanuts just from the LS-x forums with those kids giving up on their projects and selling off stuff cheap.
