I don't really care to say. but you can imagine it's a lot and would be even more if I didn't do everything myself.

UPDATE: I did decide to do a big upgrade to the engine. I had a gsr block sitting in my shed and I decided I wanted a better engine. I sent my gsr block off to ERL performance to get sleeved to 84mm. I'll run some forged Mahle pistons. That way in the future more power is able to be harnessed.
Mahle monsters :D

I personally don't want to know the final end cost. I think it would take away from this. I know this out of my budget, but i'm fine dreaming and pretending that its not TOO far of a goal ;)

:2confused what is there to update, he finished it?
Sort of. I need to get this sleeved engine thing together. I bought some Mahle 84mm pistons, and I need to do some small things to it. I'll make sure to take some pics. I've got another project I want to do.

Also IF you consider it an update, I've got a photo shoot for Import Tuner on the 18th.

a motor build is not going to look much different than what you currently have, but at least it will be new posts and pics.

I wasn't even subscribed to Import Tuner, but it made me want a copy so for the little bit of money it costs I just subscribed to it for 2 years. I will have the build done before the import alliance fall meet. Hopefully I get all the kinks worked out before then.

I will probably have a carbon plug cover before then lol

I do reasonably well and i cant afford to build my truck like this. I mean i do have a house and a few other vehicles and kids, but i just always wonder...

cop conversion?
What?
Sweet, whats the date for import alliance?
I don't think there is one yet. I hope it's in Nashville or Atlanta instead of Charlotte.

You said a few magical words that really just would make it very hard to build something to this degree. Multiple projects and kids will hinder things for sure. I make decent pay, I don't live lavishly. I have a flip phone not the latest smart phone. I don't shop at the most expensive stores. I like cars, guns, and having a great time with stuff that doesn't cost a huge amount of cash like running, cycling, kayaking, gaming, and chilling.

Oh I know what that means. I thought you wanted me to become a cop lol.
no, no lol just thought it might be a good idea if your building and engine to take it one step up yet. i mean if your going to do something on this car, you might as well go all out right?
