    hey i was hoping someone could help me im planing a complete rebuild of my engine this coming spring in know my valve system has to be redone and just want to get a figure on how much everything would cost so i can have a back up fund for anything else that needs to be replaced im also adding some stuff in like....

    SLP aluminum roller rocker arms / pushrod package
    3.4" pulley
    Thrasher modular pulley system
    SLP Thermostat
    XP cam
    Digital horsepower inc. V1.0 PCM
    Pacesetter armor plated headers
    borla exhaust

    I am also planing on a port and polish
    anything i would have to do to get these parts to work or anything that would be better i am open to suggestions and would like to know roughly how much the cost would be to rebuild the engine thank you

    If your car runs fine I wouldnt touch the bottom end. Just rebuild the top end and be happy.

    Agreed, don't bother with the bottom end if you don't have to.

    Nothing needs to be ported for any of those mods but it does hurt.

    I'd stay away from the pacesetters, they leak if you don't have them welded. Speed daddy headers a good alternative.

    Where did you look up those parts because they are kind of old and I don't think they even sell the dhp pcms anymore.

    Agree with the above....I would also stay way from Borla exhaust unless you're made of money or can find a used setup for cheap. Stock catback isn't going to be a restriction for a 3.4 pulley setup.

    I also see that you have both the XP cam and SLP/Yella Terra rockers in your list. You only want to run one or the other.

    i dont think anything in the bottom will have to be done i know the top will have to be for sure i just want to make sure i have enough money set aside so im ready for anything the car throws at me. would there be anything extra that needs to be done or i have to get for part these after market upgrades to go on the engine? where would a good place be to look for newer upgrades some of the parts iv seen on other cars others i have herd were good and the rest is from 3800 Performance - high performance aftermarket car parts for your Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Impala, Regal, Bonneville, and V6 F-body!! thank you to everyone that replied
