The cost on the W-8 is way up there, I am building a R3block with W-9 heads, and the price is not as bad as one would expect. The killer is all the homework. Special lifters from Comp, UGL cam from Mopar, W-9 intake, fab a sheet metal valley pan, T&D rollers. You could build one fairly cheap. The motor I have going together chose the spendy route. It has $2200 parabolic Oliver customs Rods, Ross Custom coated pistons $2500 Billet Bryant racing crank, modified manifold for fuel injection with direct port nitrous, 2000+ cfm dominator throttle body. I have a brand new extra set of un-machined W-9 heads I will sell for $500 shipped. By the way, the R3 blocks are around $1900-2000 and are 10 times the block. Later!
