100 hp, 2500 dollars. any questions? A few years ago, not many machine shops knew how to build engines for this type of performance, and yes, it would cost thousands of dollars because of no knowledge until the machinist sat down and built one. now days, bout every one has built one and the costs are dropping. Most expencive part in the engine is the stroker crank. usually to have a crank built is starting at $800 and get more $$$ as the stroke gets bigger. I learned this when I built my big cubic inch Farmall H engine, built it at the time when no one knew what to do,, and yep paid out the nose, at the time, now days, bout 1000 dollars cheaper than the first time around. 100 hp, 2500 dollars, for an M-450. Not bad HP for a budget. ChadS
