Victor intake $ 300
E head castings, bare $1,300 Jesel shaft rockers $1,500 Springs $ 800 Ti retainers/locks $ 300 Jesel lifters $1,200 Ti valves $2,500 55mm cam $ 600 Cometic's $ 250 push rods $ 150 -------- Total parts cost $8,900 That leaves $3,100 for porting the intake, heads, supplying and installing copper seats, honing guides, valve job, setting up the springs, surfacing the heads and intake, machine for push rod clearance, sometimes a torque converter he stated, etc. This would be very similar no matter which casting you were working with when you are building 1,000 plus hp. I would say these prices are actually very cheap when you consider the results. Please don't nit pick the costs as they are approximate for illustrative purposes. I was at my engine builder's shop on Friday looking at a $2,200 set of keyway lifters, so it's really all about the part costs, not the labor. There's a lot of misinformation and fighting in this section. I can't see how this is helping anyone in the Pontiac community and I'm really surprised that any companies are willing to make parts for us anymore. Very juvenile really. |

... your right, but when you add $5,000-$7000 for porting, you're right on the total ... sorry Dave if I've upset you, but Mike brought it up, not me ... |

For some people the problem was that if they spent all of that money they did not want to have a head that they had to buy new valve covers for. The other thing was they will have to but new headers. Like the EHTTFMF upgrade would not need new headers. Stan

Eye roll. Go back and read your posts. You resurrected the thread, and you said it was 12000.

Funny, I just sold my whole top end for half that much!
Not some promise of HP but a dyno and track proven combo! Haters gonna hate.

My .375" Smith Bros. pushrods were less than that. Under $300 direct from them... Yours titanium or something?

Not titanium. Custom 9 of each at 10.250" length and at 10.100" length. .145" wall if I remember correctly. Ordered through Butlers for my Highports. About $33 a piece. Guess I could call Butler's and ask what is special about them?
