Hey guys. I am new to the gn scene (former fbody nut) I just bought an 87 low mile gn with no drivetraink, so I will be needing lots of advice from you guys. My first question is - I want this car to be a daily driven street/strip car capable of mid to high 10 sec. times. I have just found an engine for it and need opinions fast!! before the engine is gone. this is a pro built engine 109 block and has the following crap in it

- steel billet crank
- steel billet main caps
- roller cam setup
- fully ported and polished heads and intake with big valves
- balanced rotating assembly
- high flow oiling system
- coated headers
- injectors
- ta61 turbo
- all new on stand with build sheet

I'm probably leaving some stuff out, but you can get the idea.
what would you guys expect to pay for a setup of this caliber?
Is this overkill for my goals? The only damper is buying this engine would wipe out my toy fund, but I think it might be worth it because this engine setup sounds like what I need! Any advice would be great.
 
i would be leery of someone who said they had a billet crank in there block... not that it would be impossible...
 
Also depends on what he's asking for the engine. I know some of the guys had a problem with one of the roller cams.

Who did the heads? There are numerous questions you should ask the guy. I would have one of the turbo regal guys look at it. To verify the billet crank the seller should have no objection to pulling the pan off.
 
this is a reputable race shop that has built the engine and I'm getting it through a friend of mine that is a friend of the shop owner, so It is not a matter of believing what the guy says is in the motor is in there. The same shop builds the motor for my friends t-type that runs 8sec flat quarter miles. I only want to know what I should be paying for a motor setup like this, and if I want to run mid/high tens, Is this the right kind of stuff that I need. I can get the whole package for under 7000 bucks.
