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. |

You can do it from Raby's kit parts list.
You will almost reach the price of the kit minus the heads if you keep them stock. |

It wouldn't include machining and the "gotchas" etc... I'm looking for actual experience, after the fact, this is what it all cost when it was all said and done. Kinda like what Zach listed there. Except I didn't see a cam listed. Thanks! More please! |

According to the level of what you build, most people will spend 3K to get close to a properly outfitted engine that choose to buy parts without a kit. At that most engines aren't balanced and heads aren't thoroughly rebuilt with new seats properly installed and updated. There are two parts you do not skimp on: Cylinder heads valve train/ camshaft. Skimp on either of these and you'll blow your money away. The brand new CNC produced cylinder heads are almost 1/2 the cost of my engine kits- they have to be. |
