I'm looking to put a 32V in the fox soon. Any tips?

Thanks for the input guys :-)

I've seen the FR100 crate engine and from what I hear, the price is just a little out of my reach (to the tune of many thousand dollars.)

Here's some stuff I'm in the works of accumulating:

2003 IRS
Carrier: used (but straight)
1/2 shafts: Used (but only slightly)
Diff pumpkin (used & leaks)

-$700 + shipping

2001 Driveshaft $80 (Looks OK to me)

T56 Tranny and mounting brackets:
New: $2700 (OUCH!)

Motor stuff:
Block:
New 32V aluminum
$300
Bottom end internals for bottom end: $2900
(from www.vtengines.com) (Seems like they use only the best parts and it saves me from having to source the stuff individually)

Top end of the motor: Well, I haven't got that far yet. Gotta wait for a couple more paychecks

The main concern is that I don't get killed on labor once I've accumulated all the parts. Also, I've heard that the computer gets all outa whack when you try this.

There's still more stuff that I need, like clutch, pedal assembly and shifter and other what-nots, but still, hopefully it will be finished in time to drive it around brick yard 400 time. Alot of people have stressed the issue that my old chassis and suspension are not up to the task of dealing with the extra power, but I'll tackle those hurdles along with the brakes towards the end of the summer.

As always, any input on the build process or leads on a cheap 32V top end would be appreciated.

Thanks

Will
