What is the minimum parts needed for an engine rebuild and stay around $2000 in parts..

Pistons - SRP
Piston Rings - Childs
Heads - L35
Camshaft - Comp Cams 412

Re: Minimum parts needed for engine rebuild?

Youll a couple of new parts:
Oil pump
timing chain
rod bearings
main bearings
cam bearings (if the block has 80k+ on it they should be replaced IMO)

Youll have to spend money on getting a machine shop to hot tank the block, install the cam bearings, check the bores for wear, hone or bore it if needed, check the mains for alignment, and install freeze plugs. The crank should be checked for wear, roundness on the journals, straightness, and the journals polished.

Are the heads that youre using freshly rebuilt? If so then youre good to go there but if they need gone through then youll need to have them hot tanked, guides checked/replaced, valve job done, and new valve seals.

The above plus:

flexplate - TCI
oil pump - Melling
ARP studs - main / head
pushrods - comp
main caps - 4 bolt
bearings- main,rod,cam
timing chain - Cloyes
motor mounts - Moroso

You might be in the 2200-2500 range for parts, not including heads.

Heads can obviously range in price depending on what you want done. Head gaskets can be pricey if you go with the MLS Cometics.

Machine work, adding 4 bolt main caps increases that cost. Bore/hone with torque plate is more, but a better way to go. If the crank is good, might just need to be polished. etc, etc.
