Re: It is time to begin...
Here is my build and costs from about two years ago. Still going strong on about 20 psi and alky:
"melted side of #1 piston, here is my short block build costs so far
part source cost
pistons (JE extreme duty) board member - good 400
rings estimated 120
arp studs RPM 75
eagle rods Hood 350
pro gram mains RPM 230
melling select oil pump RPM 125
cometic head gasket estimated 170
gasket rebuild set RPM 110
bore .30 over machine shop 100
line hone, four bolt main modify machine shop 200
assemble (long block) machine shop 500
clearance for eagle rods machine shop 75
turn stock crank .010 machine shop 150
clean machine shop 45
balance machine shop 250
still need SFI flex plate, bearings (clevite heavy duty), and SFI balancer. Reused cam (comp 415) and timing chain (new Edlebrock). Using stock crank (after much talk and searching). Turbo was checked out by Shiver Diesel and Injector here in Tallahassee, and was given a good bill of health. Total so far is $2610. Pretty good, I think. Machine work is by a GN guy, that is as close as I can get around here."

Re: It is time to begin...
I don't know of anyone here in mn that is reliable and does quality work to be honest with you? Anyone from mn feel free to chime in about who does good work. I'll be doing a compression check on my engine coming up soon, that's what will be the deciding factor in gathering the parts.
