Sorry, it's a 427. Goal is about 750HP crank. 600 through the stalled auto...
Cam is fairly mild for a 427 but I wanted something that would spin out to 7500 and still be easy enough to drive in traffic with the A/C on...
Cam Motion LLR 247/259 .688"/.671" 113.5+4 LSA

Cool thread. Just for future posters: if you could add up all your costs to come up with a final $? I'm not going to sit here with a calc & add up all your costs. Lol.

simple cam swap basically.
Junk yard lq4 $600
862 heads $Free .99
Cam Motion Cam swap kit (cam/lifter/spring/pushrods) $887.54
Maintenance parts "while i'm in there" (oil pump, water pump, idler pulleys etc) $407.11
SS headers $100 from a buddy
Total $1994,65 total invested in my 6.0 for my swap. Just a simple cam swap, done the right way, is not cheap.

Heres the breakdown of my small budget build. I don't have the exact costs, but it should be close:
dissembled lq4 block and internals - $500
machine work, bearings, rings, assembly - $900
TEA heads - $2000ish including buying cores
lifters and trays - $250
straub bushing kit - $180
Pushrods - $100
Cam motion cam - $400
Oil pump - $100
Misc. gaskets and bolts - $400
headers and y pipe $400 - got the headers used
TSP exhaust $550
Misc fluids - $150
This doesnt include the new trans related stuff like a new PTC converter, SFI flexplate for the long crank lq4, fluids, then a tune.
If this motor needs to get pulled out again, then I'll probably use the block for a more max effort forged 370 ls3 top end build.
