Ok here it goes this will be the last post for a while, so i'll make this as complete as i can and i wont bother you guys again. Well at least not again today. LOL Well my thing is this I want a 10 sec car (high/mid) and I want to get their the most economical way. I dont just want to purchase all these go fast parts and be going slower. I went to my local speed shop and this is what they recomended in addition to my combo to reach those goals.
Champion Iron heads
212-206 Cam
New Timing Chain
Lifters
Ported Intake
Modified T/B
Hemco Upper 65mm
Misc. gaskets, head bolts etc.
Total $3597 for all the parts and Labor.
With slics (60ft) and Good Gas, they believe this to be a 10 Sec combo with my current turbo.
Now this is where it gets complicated. The same Speed shop turned me onto a guy that was looking to get out of his GN or sell the Engine. They did all the work and said the guy had about 15K$ into the motor approximately.
I went and looked at the car and talked to the guy. He said he'd pull the motor for me and sell me the combo, Intercooler, Turbo, block, headers, DP, I mean everything, for $6000
He had the car built late last year and went 10.80's at 20lbs of boost with a 76 turbo. These are a few things the car has.
New 76 turbo
Huge Front mount I/C, Not sure what kind
GN Aluminum heads, ported
Roller Cam
Center caps
Girdle
ATR Alum, headers
50lb inj
T/H DP
Im not sure what else, but the shop that built the motor said it should be a low 10 sec car. I basically think its a TSM combo/motor.
Now I dont have $6000 to give the guy for his combo, but what i was thinking was taking his motor with headers, and turbo. I already have a nice I/C (Cas V-4) and TH DP. So I figure I could get away with out buying that stuff from. With out that stuff I can get this motor for about $4000.
My dilema is i dont know what i should do either have my shop hook up the parts and combo, or just buy this guys. I mean i know hes got the best of everything in the motor, so i figure why not just pick up on this deal and run with it.
Is there anything im not considering. I figure when its all said and done if i get this engine for 4000 then pay to have the motor dropped in and the bugs worked out im looking at $5000, plus ill have my extra motor which i would sell or maybe even swap with the guy and throw him some cash. Would you go through all the trouble to swap the engine or just build your own. Will this engine swap be a head ache working out the bugs or no not really. Is there anything i can deal with out with the combo my Shop is telling me ($3597), not that i feel they are adding items on, because I do trust them and have a good relationship with them, im just poor as hell. So what you guys think. Sorry the post is so long but im doing one of the two just wanted to get your guys non bias opinion, cuz i had my heart set on this guys 10 sec already motor, that has low 10 sec capability. Please any comments what so ever are appreciated.
Thanks, again
