If you're going to keep the car... I'd go with BYProdriver's motor.
Yup.

It's 3.6 liter, with all the goodies. Basically a Raby engine. He wants $15k for it. All in, including shipping, duties, and installation, you're looking at $20k. I don't know what you should do, 400 hp does require that something be done about the transmission, and the rest of the drivetrain. Fire breathing monsters DO require heavier duty components.:troll:

How mechanical are you? I see you got it to that point. Mine looked exactly the same. I sent the block halves to L&N to sleeve It's about $4500 and 2 months. You can reassemble with $1000 in special tools. Parts seal kit from Ebay $300 and a service manual PDF. I have a 99-02 copy you can have. Rod bearings are about $100 a set. Piston rings, Pistons, wrist pins come in L&N package. $45 Harbor freight engine stand, and a $119 jack-table, $100 for a jack and jack stands, which I'm guessing you already have since the motor is out.
I neglected to say you may a tune $1000 to 1500. There are several dozen folks on here that have done this with good results my self included.
Good Luck

Now you're talking. I didn't realize raby would do that? I thought he was an "all or nothing". If this is an option, I'd go that way!

It's still listed on L&N web page check into it. Mine was done in 2012. I pulled it in 2014 and added the carillo rods and 06 heads. I found tracking the engine over revved very quickly and I wanted the extra weight reduction plus strength the rods offered. The heads were all but new from a wrecked 06 8000 miles. $750 each. Much cheaper than a head job. I apologize the new web price is $5095

Tricky..
My 5 cents: Don't look at the Business Case, just pay and have fun! Life isnīt endless!
I have most likely spent at least 10k extra on my car now if I would dare to count it, but hey, Iīm having a lot of fun!

Agreed, I'm fairly sure I have spent over $30K but the car on track is such a rush. If I were to start over today it would probably be $40K.
