How much did the Block and the Head cost you?

 

[chet]

block = 2100
head = 1300

both are complete.

 

[posol]

2100
1300
1500 (tranny)

you got a USDM R motor with a better tranny for 4900 bucks, brand new. not bad

 

[asmallsol]

but you would still have to add all the other little things like alternator, PS pump, extra right? 4900 is a kick ass deal. One of my uncles works at a honda dealer, I wonder if he could get me a little discount off that price?
