JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE said: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.

nothing, two extra cylinders, two extra rods, bearings, valves, so on , two xtra of everything , plus crank is longer most dont have the dowls to do v-10 cranks and its expensive to buy jsut for one buildfastestbrickonearth said:what makes these motors so hard to build urself other than 10 instead of 8 lol
