Wow. Definitely not the Stock Eliminator I was attracted to in the 70's!

Rich, depends on what all parts you have in place already of course, but let's say you wanted to start from scratch and build a complete motor, carb to pan, to be a middle of the road piece, I think you're still gonna spend in the 6000-8000 range for parts...and that would be buying some parts either used or second hand new stuff...and David it's no secret that there's port work being done on the really fast stuff, that's why NHRA incorporated the runner volume rules at the same dimensions as super stock, hence that's why the cost is $5000...but for a break down here's where the price comes from, a good set of heads and intake is gonna be $3500 then you're gonna have about $500 in the good valves, another $750 in the right springs retainers and locks, and another $250 in studs and guide plates. I may be off $25-50 bucks on a couple prices but $5000 is a close estimate. It costs to run at the front of the pack, always has been that way and it always will, just the nature of our sport...and rich if you're asking just what work needs to be done I think at minimum you need a quality block, good pistons and a good ring package, and you can probably get some 5-7 year old heads off someone and it'll put you in the middle of the pack...just my opinion of course
