Jason all I did was replace rod bolts with ARP bolts for $68.95...no bearings/rings/gasket/valve job ....just like it came from the salvage yard...bolted on the injectors, headers, oil pan ...the rest of the stuff I have from the blown engine...may I add the reason it was blown was cause of a "WRENCH" (me) error.... I installed one of the pop offs backwards and washed the bearings out of it....This engine has 9 races on it and runs up front.
Wanted to prove a point that you can do this on a low budget and I think I have....2 weeks ago one of the ecotec guys blew an engine...bought a salvage yard engine for 450.00 and ran 4th Sat. night at GIS....yes it can be done
