A head job done the right way is going to run you about 700-800, for parts and the head rebuild
Yeah I'm getting it done but not nearly for that price... I just can't afford it. There is so much I WANT to do with this car and I am trying my best to do it that way. When I do buy parts they have all been top notch parts. As I believe, "do it right the first time..." But I have limits. One being pistons. I actually wanted to go 8.5-9:1 anyways, but money wont let me do that. Then there is the head. I'd love to have it rebuilt to at least a stage 2 as far as porting goes and of course improve the parts inside to go along with the cams, BUT once again I have limits... If only there was a place that did the work and you simply paid it off (kinda like financing) I'd have this car built with out one cut corner. As we speak I'm detailing my engine bay piece by piece, and trying to clean it up and make it look a little more pretty.

So to answer your question, I'd love to do this engine 100% the right way, but for now I can only afford to do it about 75% correct and even that is a lot better than most DSM owners are willing to go. Hahaha, I know you have high standards, sorry to let you down man.. :cry:

Dels is already out of the question since labor alone iwll cost me what I want to spend on the entire rebuild as is. Now on to other avenues. :(
