you want a motor built for $1500-$3000 that is capable of 10s and is prefectly streetable.

I will take a few of these too if you fine them

A genuine 10 second motor will be in the neighborhood of $8000. totally stock rebuilds are in the $3000 range.

not trying to discourage you just trying to be realistic.

Ok so 10's is pushing it. low 11's maybe is more in the ball park it sounds like.

Just looking to spend around 3000 maybe more on long block parts ( pistons heads cam intake etc) .

Machine shop cost not included in the 3000 or so. Its just for the parts.

Just want to know what to buy so im not wasting money.

Whats the smart way to go with what I already have??
