Default $$$$$$$$$ Money ? $$$$$$

I am planning on taking a LT1 block and putting forged rotating assembly, forged pistons, basically completely forged bottom end. Also looking at getting some pretty good heads and a nice cam. As well as the rest of the top end.
On top of all that i will also be doing a new clutch, transmission and rearend.

Can anyone help with even an estimate on all these parts(will be doing most of work by myself), and if possible brand names and places i should look for what i need.

THANKS

for all of that done right, I'd say you are looking at around 9-10k at least.

man if you planning on buying a new rear end its not gonna be cheap. your looking $2500-$3000 on the rear. then your gonna need a driveshaft too. 2 grand will get you a good set of heads and cam. so thats 5 grand there. are you doing the work? you've got all kinds of parts, seals, gaskets, etc to buy, machine work to the block if your doing that. shipping on the rear end is gonna be another couple hundred bucks. like highflyin said, all the little **** adds up reaaaal quick.
