LOL WUT?
I hate to say it, but if you buy a NEW block, NEW complete L92s, and a NEW intake, you're gonna be way deeper into the engine than $3000. Way deeper.
What about the 90mm TB, fuel rails, injectors, oil pan, crank, rods, pistons, cam, valve covers, front and rear engine covers, valley cover, sensors, crank pulley, accessories (power steering, alternator, water pump), flexplate, starter, etc?
All that stuff adds up incredibly fast, especially if you're buying it all new.
My blazer build is a NEFA build (Not EVEN Fuggin Around) and my motor is built of all used stuff, including a junkyard LQ4.
A thrifty shopper can make stupid amounts of power for a relatively small outlay of money if you do your homework, and spend your money wisely.
