total cost for that engine was about $6000+ but everything is new... did i mention everything, oil pump, housings, seals, competition oil pressure regulator.... i'll stop now lol

the polishing was just the icing on the cake

That is just beautiful Vosko, and the fact that your car has 460rwhp to back up all of that bling is truly amazing.

as Kid Rock says:

"it's not braggin mothafu*ka if you back it up"
