I could only wish my 292 cost me 4500 to build. I had nearly $500 alone machning and reworking all the parts I bought from Tom Lowe and Mrhotrod6 off of eBay. By the time you add all the other bolt on parts like intake, exhaust and ignition, you'll be way over 4500.

Yeah I know what you mean...I meant I had 4500 just into the motor itself...Not including all the other stuff...Once my motor is all said and done I'll be around $6000, but I'm making this engine look really nice as well so....
