Expensive. Did a rough estimate of parts and machine shop work and I'm coming in around $6k. On the plus side it should put me on the north side of 550hp

Face it, John, you should put it in the car. You would blow half on liquor and wimminz and waste the rest.

New pistons, bore job, recondition the rods, balance the lower assembly, bigger valves, port and polish the heads. I'm debating between a hydraulic roller or just old fashioned hydraulic
