Dan will do you right bro. he installed a cam and vec3 and roe for me on my QC. did a excellent job and his price was way reasonable.:rock:Troy's QC SRT said:I would like to know a little more baout this fella....I'm not ready to do it now but owuld be interested in getting pricing......I'm going back and forth or whether to mod big on the truck or continue saving for the 911
Whats reasonable?? I want to get my tranny built which ill remove and reinstall myself...im hoping Dusty can send me one and i can jsut swap it straight out and send him mine back but i need to actually talk to him and see how he does it.....After i get the tranny built i'll start pricing a motor build.....
Im with you troy I wanna start at the tranny then heads and cam... engine build then last but not least power adders

Get a plan before you start, as things like ring selection and clearances will change with the type of power adder or adders you choose.
A build up is not universal and must be specific to the combination you will run.

Stinker would have all the prices on parts.
However, Dan works mostly for beer and Ho money. Local shops I can either give the phone numbers for or give you a ball park price, since I have modified most everything on the engine.
From file fitting the rings, to bore line honing the engine can be done in town. Even porting the heads. They have already done several viper engines here, both on the forum and locals with Vipers.
You won't find a lower price on making a sweet forged engine. However, any work we take here, we will only do if a vendor doesn't offer that service.
I will help anyone out, without sacrificing the forum vendors' game.
I don't charge anything for running the parts around town, other than some beer at next reunion. Many have benefited from the local shops. I feel extremely lucky to have some great knowledge in town from some good ole boys. Even some youngins like Brian Anderson with his dyno.
