how much is it costing you to build one of these(4200) engines & what vehicle will it be going in?
Are you turbocharging it also?
Thanks!

This is going into my '51 gmc and will replace the 292... Apart from buying the low mileage engine ( so no rebuild..) I figure its going to cost $1200 to put it in, this includes the cost of a used 4L60E transmission which will be the most expensive chunk. I will be turbocharging it later - need to accumulate the expensive internals (rods, pistons etc...). For now the mission is to get it installed and running.
To bad no one is interested in the 292 (nothing wrong with it - just like the fact the 4200 is ready for EFI)
it would really help defray the cost of putting the 4200 in. If I could start all over again I'd skip building the 292.
