Message	If you think it's going to cost $30,000 to rebuild an engine and upgrade along the way...either you aren't planning on doing any work yourself or your parts are over priced. My complete engine rebuild with all new hoses, gaskets, water and oil pump, pistons, rods, freeze plugs etc.. was about $4k. Add new injectors $1k Turbos $3k Manifolds while you are in there $1k clutch/flywheel $1k intercoolers $1k Tranny $2k Harnesses $600 That's a lot of new stuff for about $13k.
