Why did you compare the cost of a 5 cylinder you just bought? Because it was way cheaper than the comparable 6 cylinder 4200.....
why did you list 500 to 750 for exhaust in the 292 build, but not the "wanna be" 4200?
A guy in Florida says he gets 400 for a complete 4200....but what condition, a core?
you defend the 4200, then use terrible examples.
Why did I use the 3700 - this is current pricing - its the same price for any engine at pick-n-pull.
Offy intake manifold: $200
Holley 390 CFM carb: $350Holley 500 CFM carb: $300 (I'd go 500)
Langdon split headers: $270
Exhaust: $500-750Cam and springs, cam gear, gaskets: $500
Head work: $750
HEI: $100
Actually I didn't include the cost of the exhaust system as this would be common - you might want to check what your complaining about again... And I made a slight addition error the above adds up to $2120.
Apparently he gets running engines for $400 from u-pull it. $150 for a core engine.
