| Post subject: | Engine Build |
I have a 74 Duster with a 225 I have to rebuild the entire motor, have to start fresh, I was wondering what performance mods I should do. I would like to keep the cost at about 2,500 considering the fact I have to put and entirely new steering system in, if any of you know if I could buy a complete kit somewhere online it would really help me out. |

i don't know where you are located, but i built a 225 for A LOT less than $2500! if you are going mostly stock, the rebuild can be done very reaonably, but (as always) the faster you want to go the more it costs. i took my block to a local machine shop had it bored, bought pistons, a crank kit and gaskets all for about $200. oil pump and timing chain from a local auto parts store for $80. went through some trouble with the head...the initial head i did was $370 (back cut valves, pocket port, gasket match) but it ended up needing to be trashed. soooo, $35 at the junkyard and $104 at the machine shop later i had a rebuilt stocker head. Erson cam from summit for $127. so, machining parts and all under $600. plus of course engine paint, etc etc. if you are not looking for a lot elbow grease on your part: a short block might be in order. i don't know what they go for, but they are still available from most engine builders. (there is a long block on ebay right now for $1200 i believe) the only complete kit i know of offhand is clifford's kit for about $800. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Engine-r ... enameZWDVW that is a link to a rering kit on ebay for like $50. you could get the other stuff the way i did. hope this helps a little. we could get a LOT more detailed if we knew more of what kind of build you were after. sb |
