Nobody said buy it all in a day. That list and and the "big single turbo" are all things to get as you can afford them.

10k!? Thats messed up man, that would mean 2k for the forged parts and 8k for the labor roughly, lol.

Yeah, it is. Ridiculous. I called DSS Racing and they could give me a completely done forged block for $5k-that's with the rods, pistons and crank (new block). OR the block already in the car shipped to them and done for $4k. Not too bad, but still a bit much for me.

00SlvrStang · September 20th, 2007, 06:59 PM

you should be able to get it done cheaper than that. basically since you have the forged crank you need better rods and pistons. that should not cost 10K with install.

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 06:59 PM

What's the difference between the rotating assembly and the block?

HMUSN · September 20th, 2007, 07:04 PM

the block is what encases the rotating assembly

00SlvrStang · September 20th, 2007, 07:06 PM

rotating assembly is the internals, the block is what they go in

nikbait · September 20th, 2007, 07:07 PM

Yeah, I am not going thru those guys, for obvious reasons! Must be because I'm a girl and they think they can rip me off.

have a guy friend call them and ask for the same shit and see what they give him... just have him say it differently than you did and see what quote they give him.

doing the internals arent that hard if you can get the engine out of the car and on a stand if you dont know what your doing it should be like a cupple hour job and its pretty much common sence all you kneed to know are the torque specs on your motor
