I’d guess 20k+- for what he has. He copied an expensive block and made it bigger… we all know that makes the price bigger.

 

would be cool if he could offer them up for anyone that also wants to build one

 

It would! I would imagine tho VERY few ppl would do this. For the amount of time and money invested, most would have bought another car, or 2 or 3…

 

20k for the whole engine ? Dont forget custom made one off crank shaft, connecting rods and pistons. That's around 8k right there LOL

 

20k for the block. I’d imagine things got real expensive quick after.

 

street value? no...we're seeing Honda 4 cylinder billet blocks go for 10-20k bare depending on where you're getting it. i'm betting either was self machined or a friend helped out as street value of a custom designed billet block is not going to be cheap.

 

Personal project

My friend owns a High end collision shop. They have an SLR in for front end damage. They pulled the block so we borrowed it.

My business has a Makino 5-axis. We laser scanned the block, then used REcreate software to develop a CAD model. Purchased my raw materials. 5 days later I had a block. Took the block to the machine shop. Used the CAD model to develop the blocks CNC program. Had the final machine work done, sleeved, step decked, oringed, 1/2" stud threads, cam bearings, etc.

 

This cool that you were able to do that. Impressive for sure.

 

That’s helluva leg up you had with those connections! Congrats on the 8 second run!
