The Engine Build

Nice. I'm Ernies son. I did a manual conversion on my quad cab, now thinking of doing a forged internals rebuild and supercharging it
Yes you have a tyre shop in Kerikeri.
You need to talk to John at Southeast Performance. He can get everything you need for your build. It is a big thing to have a build design and then stick to it. You name the horse power he can design it. It just takes boot loads of money. Don't just buy some parts here and some parts there only to find they are not compatible once they arrive. Then you need a local engine builder who has ever seen a Viper motor....good luck with that too.

Easy
 
Yea i know the rough cost. I was over 25k for my drag box conversion
Change pistons, rods, cam, cam followers, pushrods, valve springs, valve seats, Fit heads Studs, fit main cap studs, Maybe better main caps, Oil pump gears, better clutch, maybe head work, valves etc.
Keep your eyes open for Striker Heads
I would allow $40kNZ for starters
If I had they money I would have had John build a motor and send it. I would ask to see if that is an option, then sell your standard engine
Just remember Duty and GST on everything including freight and Duty
