How much to build iron 6.0 block? im thinking of buying a 6.0 block from texas speed and build it over the winter. I was wondering an estimate of building it and a ball park labor cost? the heads I would go with would be l92 heads.
Mine:
$700 block from SD
$700 crank Eagle from SD
$550 Pistons Wiseco
$500 Rods Eagle from SD
$350 heads L92 from SD
There is almost $2900 in hard parts. Then cam, lifters, rockers, valves, springs, locks, retainers, rings, bearings, oil pump, pick up, covers, oil pan, intake, efi/carb, headers, pushrods, main studs, head studs, timing chain, gaskets, valve covers, balancer, flywheel/flexplate
Safe to assume you will have @ $7K-$10K when it is all said and done, including machine work and all. Some of your variables include hydraulic/solid roller? Shaft rockers? Port work on heads? Valves, titanium or stainless? Locks/retainers, steel or titainum??? EFI or Carb? Etc, etc.. It can and WILL add up quickly

I just picked up an 04 lq4 long block with 18k miles for 600 bucks off some guy locally. The intake was melted from an underhood fire but I am cleaning everything up right now and it all looks great. I am going to need sensors, rockers, valve springs, an alternator, and some parts to make it fit in my fbody but I saved a bunch on that. It even came with the exhaust manifolds, which I am using for a turbo setup which will hopefully be done within the year. I am going to buy some forged pistons and rods and I should be good as far as bottom end.
