Hillside. http://www.hillsidecycle.com/

This is their "budget" stage 1 without polishing.







I did the whole 80hp/80fl/lbs torque build package: bored .010 over, pistons, woods cam, S&S lifters/pushrods, dynatek ignition, cometic gaskets. Runs like a raped ape.

There is never a simple answer to a question like that! If for example your valve guides are worn they will be an additional cost. If you look at Hillside's website they repeatedly say: 'call us'! They are an HDF sponsor and frequent contributor, especially in the Tech Engines section.

OK how about a ballpark? You can assume I need new everything. The old girl is tired.
