My budget out the door is 2K.
I already have the headers and intake / carb.
I actually have not been to the machine shop in 15 years and it was in a far away state so I have no ideas as to the costs. Reckon I need to tear down the engine and get the block and heads to the shop to see what condition they are in. Maybe I can get the machine shop to CC the heads.
First thing I'd recommend doing is measuring the combustion chambers to see how large they are. You will need a burette, some engine oil and a piece of glass.
This is the first step in calculating your compression ratio.
