Building your budget stock block.... Has anyone on here done a budget built 346 for boost? About how much did you spend and where? What rods/pistons or crank?
I'm looking into a procharger setup (specifically a D1SC@8lbs) but I want my motor built before I make the purchase.....
Any and all info is appreciated.... I've done a search and I get results completely off topic...when search is working...

For a ""BUDGET"" Build.
It would consist of these following parts for me....
Diamond Pistons for a 3.905" Bore $570 w/ rings
Eagle H-Beam Rods $450
Stock crank
ARP Main studs $160
ARP Head studs 12 point $215
GM 6.0L MLS Gaskets $65
new rod bearings $65
new main bearings $95
New Ported oil pump $150 or so
Timing chain Roll master $135
6.0L heads $350-$450 stock + $255 for Patriot gold dual valve springs
Pushrods $115
Used cam $325 from for sale section all the time
Machining of the block, line hone with TQ Plate and engine assembly anywhere from $800-$1000.
And that should hold quite a bit.

How much more expensive do you think it'd be to turn that into a 408 or 402?

Well I believe you have to buy another block at that point, like a lq4 or lq9, which is the truck six liter block (iron)....
Then a different crank, which is goign to be expensive, i belive around 1200 bucks if not more!

I just know, I had a SBC 350 bored .030, decked, honed etc.etc and bearings installed for 300 bucks! And they are VERY well known around here!

Our $5700.00 price is a good deal, where we bring the car in, pull the engine and rebuild it, install it and tune it.

There might be a few spots for clearancing..... that would egaul a 382ci motor.
If you went with an Iron LQ9 block you would have to add that price into the total.
An Eagle 4" crank is around $850....... i beleive speed Inc has it for that much right now...

That total was machine work wich usually runs $250-400 for it, and then what ever your builder charges for assembly...Mine charges around $800 for that.....
On my last motor it was $1000 for assembly.... so it varys by who does it and how much you trust them to pay that......
Give a few of our sponsors a call and tell them exactly what ya want and im sure they will break it down for ya.....
