$300 intake, $700 carb, $300 fuel pump, $600 ignition, Roller cam and roller lifters $1000, oil cooler and brackets $600, good quality roller rockers $500, $2000 in work on heads I had (new valves, seats, springs, porting, milling), $3000 in the short block (bought a used block as mine was trashed, decent forged crank, new rods, new pistons, machine work and balancing) and exhaust was about $3000.

It adds up really quick! If you don't have to buy exhaust after picking your cam you will obviously knock a good bit off.

Machine work for $600? Run away, my shop charges me $200 just to clean the block.

Ok how's this. Yes! Absolutely! Buy the pro comp heads, drop it off to your local nickle and dime machine shop and never enjoy boating again while owning a $8,000 boat your now have $18000 into and can't sell because it doesn't run.

You are forgetting something. It's a Ford so the nickel and dime is now translated to dime and quarter��
