Top quality engine parts from Butler or Kaufman (and filling in with Summit when money can be saved) is up $2,000 from pre-COVID prices. What was $5,000 in top quality parts to complete a build is now $7,000 with iron heads -- or close to $9,000 with ported aluminum heads (price is closer because of subtracting iron head work not done). This gives you the Butler stroker kit, hydraulic roller cam, top quality lifters, etc... on down the list but no labor. An example of how prices have increased would be a FelPro KS2616 engine gasket set that a little over a year ago was $56.00, six months ago was $86.00 and the last one ordered a few weeks ago was $129.99 from Summit.
Bart's rocker arms that cost him $478.90 are now $669.95 at Butler and more at Summit coming in at $739.99.
