Meaning what i spent on the 6.0 and related parts?

Found the 6.0 at local place that mostley deals with late model trucks. junk yard. I got it for $1700 with 15k on it.Motor was perfect.
I already had a Futral F4 cam from my busted LS1 and through some lucky cam trading I ended up with the F14 for free.
The headwork was done by a freind of mine.He hooked me up and did it for $300.Hes been practicing with old LS1 heads for awhile and mine was the first set to actually make on the street.
Motor made 414 unlocked 438 locked through a 4l60e. I have a th350 now.So no tellin.She'll be goin down the track soon.
