I don't plan on doing to much I'll dump no more than $2K over the next year or so. But suspension/tire/brakes will be another story.

BTW I'm just starting to monitor the All Motor Board and no money in my motor yet. But what I see so far it scares me. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!

Crisgo

For what I have put into it, I'm sure I could have done better. Although I'm very happy with the $3900 build I have.

laughinxxx

So far $100 for a shortblock H23 with a spun bearing and no rods or pistons.
I found H23 rods for $40 and JDM H22 pistons shouldn't cost too much.

I might actually be able to keep this sucker under $1k with machine work, but then you have the one time cost of tools as well a new clutch, flywheel, water pump, oil pump, seals, gaskets, belts, beer, cigarettes, etc.
If I'm done before next season I'll be happy as hell.
