just want to do rods pistons forged i think but would like to hear the prices for crank and main caps
just in parts your looking at about 5k for a basic setup like mine rods/pistons/rings/push rods. then just work your way up from there. Labor depends who and where.

it has 19 thousand on it. started making some noise and smoking but both of those symptoms come and go it will go back to sounding normal and not smoking and then back to the noise and smoking
look at roes sight ,,,he has a kit for doing lower end for around 2800 ,,does not include gasket ,,,sounds like you got the ol shocker for an extra grand lol ,,
IF YOU REPLACE CAM AND LIFTERS ITS ANOTHER GRAND ,,,if you want the best of the best ,,,or need larger rings or bearings because of machine work you will easy hit 6 grand

Ok when did it start and did you do anything to it before it started. It is almost like a knocking but closer to a tick?fastestbrickonearth said:

for billet mains your looking at modifying the block = $$$$. just FYI
first take it to a very reputible shop, not joes back yard fiasco,
get a leak down test done, and pull some oil and get an oil analysis done,
go from there, those two things will tell you most of what you need to know.
you are jsut going to worry yourself with numbers until then,
jsut plain out figure 10k jsut for the bottom end for a proffessional job, another couple for head job.
but get it checked first, then worry.
