Well, actually I wanted the car running for our summer for cruising and a bit of drag racing, but those budget constraints meant that things have taken longer than expected.

But we went close on budget, and I would be surprised if we dont make 850hp on pumpgas, and the engine will be running again in the next few days.

Costs were like this (converted to USD):
540 block, rods, pistons, BRC crank etc $ 1500
Repairs to crank $ 600
Heads (bowties complete with girdle) $ 600
Roller cam 4-7 swap $ 400
SFI balancer $ 300
Twin 1150 Dominators & pump $2000
MSD dizzy & 7AL $ 600

I already had the 671 from the previous engine but that originally cost about $2000.
So it came to about $8000 in parts & machining.

Compression is about 7.5:1 so will work on our 98 gas, and run around in a street legal bucket.
