Yea im planning on it, obviously there is still oil pump, water pumps etc etc...i calculated roughly $4100 on parts through summit, my machinest/builder said when i find out what i want to do he will see if he can get stuff cheaper but then machine work on top of this. I really dont think i will be able to swing over $5500 on motor without sacrificing other stuff i wanted to do to the truck before spring. Am i crazy thinking i can pull off this set up for that price and do you guys think ill be in my hp range?
