Opinions on Blueprint Crate R/B 493/440

Ain't gonna happen that cheap.... Ask me how I know lol.... If you are starting out with what the OP has I would say 6K. But if you are like me and started with literally just a block then when you add all the other stuff up like headers, pulleys, and etc. it gets way up there and fast. I will have 512ci with aluminum heads and a really good converter for less than the BPE crate deal. This includes schumacher stuff also.

Ain't nothing cheap Bob lol.....

I shopped around on everything, complete oil system under $140 or so, used tti headers $400, the rest is stated above. the most expensive thing was a fast 2.0 f. inj. system . I don`t have much more than what I stated in mine. The most expensive part was the body , dana 60 , caltrac system, and of course the trans. Insured for $30,000. The biggest outlay was trading an 11 second pick up for the darn thing to start with, then having to re do the whole body along w/ some rust repair that wasn`t supposed to be there. Live and learn.
