Total 4g64 engine build

[fstrthnu]

If you want to rebuild a '64 the right way here's what your looking at.

Hi John,
H.P. is gained by: compression ratio, cylinder head flow, proper valve seal,
intake and exhaust system and flow, gear ratio (to match the camshaft and
cylinder head flow and RPM range, ignition system, lighter pistons
(reciprocating weight) and rods, camshaft choice, ring seal, balancing, bearing
clearance, the correct valve springs, cu. in., camshaft timing, ignition timing,
and type of fuel or gasoline used.
Also whether a turbo charger or blower or nitrous is used in the system.
If you can get an after market camshaft that has more lift and duration, with a
higher RPM range, then it would be best to go with the lighter forged pistons.
The stock connecting rods, prepped properly, will work just fine. The J.E.
pistons are going to be the only way that you are going to be able to up the
compression ratio.
The rest of the machine work and labor is:
H.T. block $35.00
align hone mains $85.00
bore and hone $68.00
re-size rods (big end) $55.00
press pistons off and on $28.00
turn crank shaft $78.00
index crankshaft $35.00
(or polish crankshaft only $35.00)
balance engine assembly $150.00
glass bead head $35.00
surface head $35.00
dis-assemble, assemble, 3-angle valve job $135.00
mira-cut $68.00
pocket port $245.00
dis-assemble engine $150.00
assemble engine $275.00 (no outside bracket, etc. just engine)
clean rest of parts $110.00
R&R galley plugs $25.00
install freeze plugs $25.00
shop supplies $15.00
has. waste $9.50
shot peen rods $32.00
The part number and price of the engine kit is:
EKMI24G. $703.75.
This kit includes:
stock pistons, premium rings, main and rod bearings, intermediate bearings,
freeze plugs, complete gasket set, timing belt, and oil pump. (no camshaft,
lifters)

Hope that helps some people get a ballpark idea of prices and what exactly their budget will allow. I'm still debating on what I need to get done since I've already got a turbo kit waiting to be put on as soon as I get back to the states. One more month! Wooohooo!

Hell ya, do that rebuild w/the wiseco pistons before you put that turbo on, that thing will haul some ass!! Maybe you can keep up with me then!

thats what im planning to do...except not all of it of course. gonna get a 1g DOHC head either some wisco pistons or there is another compnay that makes the same ones(or close) for $500(i dont have the link, its on my comp in my dorm) a 1g intake mani and 2g exhaust mani. some odd parts here and there and then comes some turbo.

i have yet to decide on weather to use the 14b or 16g...it all depends on what i do to my tranny. if i keep it stock the 14b will come first. once i get a new tranny i will throw a nice 16g in there
