If you can build a fresh 496 for 3K your a better man than me.
Your valvetrain alone roller cam, lifters, pushrods, roller rockers, springs, retainers, severe duty intake valves, extreme duty inconel exhaust valves is going to set you back over 2K EASY.
Your still going to need the forged crank, manley rods, forged pistons, pair of heads, timing set, intake, carb, fuel pump, oil pan, valve covers, flame arrester, gaskets,machine shop work

I agree!!!

And why the oval port heads???? I didn't even know summit offered a oval port bbc head with their name on them.

I jus built two for my 10meter.5grand a pop.time you dress it out easy five.....and that s using some used parts....oh yea,thats less exhaust.

well these heads are oval port with sumit racing stamped right in them. there pretty much identical to the dart cast heads and ill have less than a 1000 in the heads all set up i paid 600 for the heads and 75 for crane gold rockers the only thing i need for them yet is valves and springs the heads will be good to go

picked up a lot of my parts at a swap meet up here

hey guys im not trying to start anything **** on here im just looking for advice and letting people know about how my build is going is all

just about the single cheapest part you are using is the block. find another one. one that spent it's life being cooled by anti-freeze instead of salt water.
