Congrats on getting everything done!!!!
Just because I hate all these car shows that rebuild engines/cars in 30 or 60 minutes of air time, could you give us a ballpark of what this cost?
Thanks and enjoy your summer!!!

You can see how the heads were blended between the intake and exhaust side to help on detonation. These are also TFS 220cc as cast headsm

Okay, so the car came with TFS heads, BTR dual valve springs, yella terra rockers, long tube headers, mid pipe and BB Bullets. As you saw everything he did, cleaning the bottom end, the studs, forging it, new camshaft, installing a blower kit with a flip drive and the fuel system and getting the heads reworked... I am in it 10.6k plus the AA blk kit, twin pump and IW 8 rib w/flip kit. Now.... I was very fortunate to go through a professional builder who offered to throw the kit on too. As far as hours... this thing has over 80 hours in the engine build with the blower and fuel system...
This car is my once in a lifetime car, I wanted something that when I looked at, I wouldn't tell myself I wish I had done something else.. or done more.... so the worst financial decision of my life but I completely LOVE IT!!!

You got a good deal and he got in done in a reasonable amount of time, just over a month, wow! Many of us have endured 6 months to a year for these kinds of things. Great job!

I think my next move is getting this wing painted and installed.
But for now, got the alignment handled. Installed the new black lug nuts versus the cheesy factory one, and charged up some ice cold AC!
The car was sitting at 184 degrees in 80 degree weather and oil temp at 215. Can't wait to get past the break in tune..
