Those two statements do not match... If you want to take the engine to a shop just to get it running right it is going to cost you a bunch

with labour. Then that part of faster and more powerful will cost you about $400 to buy and pay for fitting of a lumpy camshaft not including tuning.

Labour cost is the biggest killer of the wallet. learn to mod an engine yourself and you will save big$$ that you can spend on more goodies.

To build a tough K motor follow this link

Firstly you should make a budget and find out how mutch you want to spend on this thing. Then make mods to your needs.

Do you want engine rebuilding work, or do you want to take your whole car to tune up etc?

like i said I'm new so I'm learning and researching what to do and the cost of things, and whats is and isnt worth doing.

 

i had a quick 10mins look over that link last night as i came across it, needa sit down and have a good look over it.

id say I'm looking at spending $1000-2000 on mods/engine side of things. my base line atm is (exhaust,cam,headwork,carby rebuild)

but as each day goes by I'm learning more tricks and ideas

Well you've hit the nail on the head. $1000 - $2000 is plenty enough to build your motor up if you do alot of work yourself.

Taking things apart and putting them back together is the easy bit and anyone can do it if they just do a little research.

I myself have stuff-all mechanical knowledge but I have pulled apart the head and cleaned it up, done an engine conversion, suspension setup,

light engine tune, clutch and am now attempting to adapt quad carbies to the 4k head. Once you start you will find out it is really easy to get going.

Read as many books as you want but once you start physically start doing it you will learn quicker. My advise, try to find an engine manual for the 4k

and it will help you greatly.

So yeah you definately have enough dosh for parts just try to do as mutch as you can yourself and you will save mega $$.

Exhaust, any exhaust shop will put an exhaust in for you, they will do extractors as well if you want. I'd budget ~600 bucks for a drive in drive out changeover including a set of Perry extractors and a full 1 3/4 exhaust. I used carline (I think) on marion road, near the harvey norman.

 

For all the other stuff, you'll burn up 2000 bucks very quickly in labour cost if you're going to get that work done by a shop. To drive in drive out for a cam change and head work, you'll probably use up your whole budget. I completely rebuilt my motor, balanced, cam, new pistons, twin sidedrafts and dyno tuned it for 2 grand, to pay someone to do all that expect to double it.
