After really looking at the cost of the rebuild of the GA i...
What was your ballpark estimate?
Heads 1K
P/C 900
Cam/lifters/pushrods 500
bearings 350 or so
oil pump
gaskets
machine work
so i'm guessing if i do some of the case machining myself, and some of the head machining, about 3K. Them i'm still only in the 150HP range.
Buick V6- free
ring and gasket it, new valve springs-200 bucks (maybe free)
Adapter with flywheel 500
motor mount bar 100
cooling i'm gonna buy a RX7 rad-200 bucks
exhaust- not much since I have a mandrel tube bender at work
Oh, might do a cam in it with lifters as well, but a very good friend of mine used to race the 231 and helped design the turbo regals, up to the GNX. He has a ton of stuff for these motors he does not use any more. Hell he even has 3 GNX complete crate motors still in the buick box.
