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.
Off the top of my head, for a 2056 rebuild (and reusing some parts)
I am also counting fuel induction and exhaust as part of the engine build cost.
$2000 core 2056 engine with a butt ton of good parts (Mallory, 44 IDF carbs, CERAMIC LIFTERS, good heads, etc.)
$100 case machining (squaring droopy registers)
$80 cylinder boreout (I dropped one...
)
$270 set of KB pistons/rings, balanced, from Jake
$40? main bearings
$50 seal kit
$25 adjustable push rod tool (from Jake - not needed, but VERY helpful)
$20 HF 1 inch dial indicator and mount
$100 lightened flywheel, tuna can, extra engine case, cam bearings (thanks Josh!)
$20 locktite case sealant
$trade push rods, mahle cylinder (the one that got bored out)
$700 Eurorace headers, turbo muffler
$60 two IDF rebuild kits (ebay)
$10 two phenolic gaskets.
$10 M8 threaded rod to make longer studs to use the thick gaskets.
$80 bead blasted clean all engine tin.
$16 engine paint for clean tin (rattle can)
$100 engine test stand (home built, componant cost only)
Theoretical total: $3681
Keep in mind, I am including things that others may not include for an "engine" rebuild. Either way, you have to do them, and an engine won't run w/o fuel and exhaust. I could have saved a little money if I had not been butterfingery with one of my cylinders. But I also looked for deals and made use of the 914world network instead of just going retail. Also, I did not have to have my heads done, and that saved me a TON of money. And, obviously, finding Evan and buying his 2056 was a godsend. The carbs, mallory, and lifters alone were worth what I paid for the whole engine.
