My estimate is around $10k plus machine shop costs. Based on buying a stock long block and doing all labour myself except machining.


Any input would be helpful.

it may have costed 10k but its not worth that. You can get forged bottom ends and upgraded heads with economy aftermarket parts for 5k. If your willing to spend 10k on something like this I would suggest you purchase the parts yourself and build your own engine. You could run into a nightmare trusting someone else's work, machine shop and "parts" they've installed.

I think i kinda agree with caliber. If you have the money lying around the most expensive part of that owuld probably be bare block and head(keep in mind i've never researched forged components however i have looked up price of blocks when others ask on here). You could buy yourself a full engine for 1500-2 grand on here, infact i think someone has a full forged bottom end that needs to be pieced together for 1650 in the for sale section right now. If you bought that you would have to source a head, give it a port police and knife edge job(patience required i hear) and build the head the way you want. Probably cost you 5-6k, possibly 10k with your time included, but then you know its your time not somoene else being rushed in a shop possibly not using hte parts you ordered(however i can't see this happening often in real life). Then again this is tired rambling so take everything said with a grain of salt, especially since i have no experience in building a bottom end or head, simply refreshing gaskets and cleaning parts with brake cleaner. No precise tolerances there

I'd say 4-5k for above reasons and market value very middle of the pack parts nothing too flashy to drive up the price.

[Black BNR32]

I bet the head cost the original owner at least 4k.

Op, I have a similar build. I'll pm you my bill.

[gtrjon]

I'm sure it did. Honestly I think it would command a lot more if it weren't for the eagle rods and greddy oil pump. No crank collar. No sump extension, no valve guides etc

My lump ran me near $20k but I'd get laughed at if I asked 12k after turning the key once.

[omnigear]

He could buy a Top Secret Engine and be done with it =p

[Bruizer]

That's not a bad price really. I built a tomei engine (not Genesis but same parts) and it was bonkers...

It ALWAYS costs more than you think it will. My Tomei build was close to the same price, full re&re. And I got lots of discounts.

Weren't those tomei rods/pistons/bearings and r34 crank used?
