So you want 2 go Big block...Read this first!

SO a SB build will cost $3075 or $2720 if you do it with a parts car.

and a BB build will cost $4864

thats $2144 more than the small block, or -you can say it costs 44% more to build a BB. That isn't even close.

I am sure you guys are guna start whining and say...:crybaby:But you used more expencive headers, and you tranny cost more:crybaby:

:director:THATS THE POINT I AM TRYING TO SAY! BIG BLOCKS COST MORE. end of story. and hey, the 360 is a rebuild, and the SB tranny was said to be OK, for that price it may, or may not be, but if you bought a $600 tranny, you are still only at $3675, and you STILL have another $325 extra, while the BB build whent over budget. Oh, and with that extra $325, you could buy some pretty nice headers to boot. Lets say the BB build used the $200 E/B body headers, that would save $309 bringing the total down to $4553 - another $150 for frame conectors ( which I think you should have on a BB anyways) so the new total is $4400....STILL OVER BUDGET!!!!!!!!

look at the BB build, we don't even know if the engine will run, and it only has 2 HP bolt on parts

So there you go. two builds, using the cheapest BOLT on parts, and only buying what you HAve to buy.

Did I mention that the BB build didn't get T bars either, or a torque strap ( which is recomended, Or a rebuilt engine...or...
