Probably under $6000. I don't think that it is a well though out project. The compression might be to high with 62 cc heads. I am not a solid lifter fan and then they use an odd rocker ratio only used in racing motors. I use 1.7 to get big valve lift in my 434 ci roller cammed small block.

It also has a gear driven cam that kids use to make the motor whine like it has a supercharger or something.

The heads are questionable as to performance.

The holley injection is a $2000 item.

Are you building a race motor and or max performance street/strip motor ?

Either way those heads suck, if you already bought them sell them unless you are building a street cruiser

The engine was offered as part of an old settlement deal. I need a street cruiser, not a strip racer. Can this setup be adapted to a good cruiser/power setup?. What would you change on this?.

Should be fine, the rockers are too high a ratio, 1.6 max.

What's wrong with these heads? I was considering these for my 75 (no racing, just cruising)?

Get rid of the gear drive setup. Sell the heads for a better set. Run a set of 1.6 rockers. I ran solid cams for years and recently put in a roller cam. If you have the cash go for a roller. Hyd or solid roller.

This motor is more for somebody that understands lots of things mechanical. I personnally have stayed away from Fuel injection until these aftermarket kits get it right. I don't have the time to tinker and hook up a lap top or some other device to make air fuel ratio/spark changes. The solid lifter cam assumes that you know how to adjust the valves periodically.

I would wonder about why they would be running a motor with the blower not even hooked up?

If you are willing to adjust the valves. I would drop the rocker arm ratio down to 1.6 and ask if you could just have a simple holley 650 or 750 CFM carb.

There are better heads out their for the same price, Mustang guys love them but do a poll here and won't find too many

If you already have them, then they are fine for a street cruiser

Toss the rocker arms, EFI and gear drive........or just buy one of these.......by the time you are done it's probably the same price.
