$4900 in the longblock, but thats with every sinlgle little thing except headers and injectors.

To use "good stuff" cost easily could have doubled.

Torque/low rpm motors are cheaper to build.

Rpm/bigger CI motors add up.

$10k easy in the 408 I recently finished and that was with me doing a lot of "favors" labor wise. By the time its installed and running it will be 1000s more.

12k in my 350.

IMo the higher they spin the more they cost.
