So you want 2 go Big block...Read this first!
It's about the same cost to swap in a small block where a slant six was originally... ask me how I know! ;)
Your exhaust quote seems really low to me. When I had the full 2 1/2 duals custom bent and installed for the 360 in my car, the bill went to $840 including the mufflers (cash, no bill). All the other quotes I got were closer to $1K to do the job.
I 2nd that comment, I paid about $1000 for the setup on my truck
As far as exhaust goes...anyone can get this. check it out
2.5 inch from headers back under
$200

and 3 inch with mufflers from jegs or summit is about
$250
I have the 3 inch, and my buddie has the 2.5. they both sound good to us. More than happe with these kits. fits in swingers no prob, have to cut for demons, dart sports, and dusters.
Keep in mind...these costs are for A body big block instalations. Not trucks, or other cars.
Demon Dave, I call your bluff. I'm asking how..if you take intoconsideration you can do a /6 to small block swap for this much
Good running 360 for
$500
auto Tranny for
$200
schumacker Motor mounts for
$180
$200 for nickel and dime stuff ( oil, gaskets, spark plugs, etc etc)
$200 for exhaust
total of $1280.
You can't do all that with a big block....trust me. Look at my thread if you want.
But I'll call you on it...I am asking how
Phil
PS. I think the Auto tranny price I have up there is low. I can't find a big block tranny in good condition locally for under $500
