Default How much do y'all think this will run me

I understand this is a pretty open ended question but I want some more input and would also like to "prepared" for common things to run into. Just some in general pricing of how much y'all think it would cost would be great.

This summer I'm thinking about dropping my engine to fix a few issues (can't get tranny dipstick back in, oil leak, and messed up opsu). While I have the engine out I figured I may as well try to get a stall and ud pulley at the same time since everything would be so easy to get to at that point.

I have a quick list of things I would change/add if I go through with this. I would like you guys to let me know of other things I may as well change and what is prone to break during the removal process (lol)

1. oil pan gasket
2. rear main seal
3. transmission cooler
4. torque converter ($500 I already found the one I'm going with lol)
5. opsu
6. ud pulley

thanks!

right now your at about 800-1000 depending on which UD pulley and oil cooler you go with.. Good thing your doing your own labor or you would get raped lol..

idk if you have it, but poly mounts are good to have if your stockers are shot out..

Ud pulley is a waste of money for the possible 4 rwhp. Could be spent very effectively in other ways, look it up.

Wait to do the UD when you do a cam.

What converter?

I know the UD pulley isn't good for much, I could live without it, just depends on if I feel like spending so much for a little power at the time

Its a revmax, 3200 stall with the carbon clutch and "anti balloon" plate. Supposedly good for 500 rwhp, which I don't plan on reaching with this motor, I just like the security lol
