i emailed him my costs and also 'more average' costs.
i built this thing -- literally -- in my kitchen. i got LUCKY on parts. was very very nice to my machinist. i also recouped a lot of my costs by selling a bunch of **** off my old engine.
carbs were about $600 less when i bought mine than they are now. given costs today, i'd go FI. still might.
even given the compression rate i run (9.65:1), i'm expecting it could go a good 50k miles out of it before it needs refreshing, though i'll prolly open it up before then just to keep the power up (hey it's practically only for AX and track).
yup, bring money for headers. $650-700 ought to do it, unless you want to squeeze every last bit of power out of your engine, in which a tangerine header is the bomb.
