Type IV rebuild cost break down, literally, specifically... Options

[Gint]

I'd like to see where the $$$ are spent for a Type IV rebuild. Looking for a complete price break down listing of each of the individual parts (or group of parts, ie. pistons) , machining, labor (if necessary), etc...

Someone has to have done a complete listing of costs during their rebuild. But I've never seen one on this site.

I'm keeping very detailed records, but I'm nowhere near done. I'm shopping for deals until I am ready to build. The engine will be 2258cc. What I have so far:

Used 78mm Crankshaft - $100.00
New Pushrod Tubes - $19.95
New Webcam #163 w/ gear - 76.01
Dual Valve Springs w/ retainers - $22.75
1.7 Rocker Arms - $40.00
2.0 core engine w/40 IDFs, 009 and SSI exchangers - $400.00

My Shopping list includes another estimated $1849.15 in parts, $150 in machine work, and $1200 for the heads. That's $3857.86.

My list includes:
96mm KB stroker pistons/cylinders/rings
H-Beam Rods
Main/Rod/Cam bearings
Lifters
Gasket Set
Front and Rear oil seals
Dizzy drive gear
Chromoly pushrods
HD Rocker shafts w/ solid spacers
swivel foot valve adjusters and nuts
Oil galley plugs
Cam plug
dowel pins
woodruff key
Cylinder shims
Pushrod tube shims
2x IDF rebuild kits
Sachs disk/pressure plate
Cap/rotor/points/wires

And leaves me with a 2.0 crank and rods that I can sell off. I'm sure that I'll spend a few more bucks here and there on miscellaneous stuff or additional machine work, and I'd like to get something better than the 009 dizzy, but my target is carbs to muffler for $4K. When I get the crank magnafluxed, if it is bad, that will blow my budget. I think it will only cost me another ~$350 though, because I'll then buy a new crank that will eliminate the need for grinding, and it will have type 1 journals so the rods will be $100 cheaper.

And I still have about 5 months to shop for parts deals that could save me more $.

I'd be glad to give you an update when I'm done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think you'll find different people's costs vary widely depending on what they did. A $5k Raby kit, a $300 bearing and ring job, or something in between.
