> [@1G2GDSM](#): > > Sure building a v8 is cheaper then building a 4g63 or b series. But it’s about being “different” while most drag cars still have v8’s in them that gets boring. And is. how do you get bored builing up and racing a v8 vs 4 cyl? Bored as in your not in the garage as much replacing parts and fixing shit so your forced to sit on the couch with a beer and sandwich watching tv. ---

Id say something like “im sure mine cost more” but I don’t have a clue what they go for. I will say you are not getting a good lsx stroker longblock for under 8-10k to start though. ---

> [@ubengineering](#): > > i dont think necessarily building a v8 is cheaper, lol thats an overstatement if you use stock rods and crank, and dont have to have a block bored / hot tanked ect, its dirt cheap to build a small block chevy, well compared to most things. I could comfortably sell the motor in my truck for 1200 minus carb and not feel too bad about the loss im taking on it. so add the set of heads and intake it needs to build another 125 hp, and I could still sell a motor with 400+ hp thats still sellable in the 2000$ range ---

well there are a bunch of variations that can come into play because there are countless rod/piston combos that are out there. if someone were to build my exact motor with the specs i have in it, youre close to 9k. thats just a bare longblock. that is however having someone build it for you, if you were to do it yourself im sure it would be MUCH cheaper, but fuck that lol. you know how it goes haha ---

Building them is fun and working on your car is fun beats sitting around. But in my opinion drag racing has become boring. You see the same shit over and over, unless it’s bracket racing which then makes it more interesting to race for. ---

Uh if you really want to have this debate LQ9 long block $1600 Big fucking cam + springs $800 Carb + intake manifold + ignition system $1500 AJE Kmember $300 Headers $500 Junkyard Th400 + big stall 8.8 rear with whatever gears Throw this in a gutted fox body(like the one in the vid) and run mid-low 10s NA hell some people even get into the 9s Wack it with a 150 shot Move on Fox bodys are one of the cheapest platforms to build its been around forever and used parts are everywhere. ---

This thread has aids. Psphinx 9k is not even close to a lot in the world of high $$$ lsx motors. So your statement might apply to old school stuff but modern to modern no way. Shit a lot of the high hp NA setups are 30k+ My silly lil 418 that you are going to smoke(LOL) new was 12k as a longblock ---

It is neat to do something different. That 4cyl fox was bad ass. So far my SHO engine build is quite a bit cheaper than what you guys are talking about but I doubt it will make huge power either so it is a trade off + its heavy for its size/power output at 600lbs dressed $1200 in pistons, ~$500 in valves machine work, $500 gaskets, 1500 in fueling and engine management 3K built TH400 + big stall under 3K for turbo goodies $1700 cage hmmm guess there is no way I am keeping this project under 10K oops hopefully it makes more than 300whp. Something different and something fun most definitely a money pit. ---
