After almost eleven years of daily driving, and 210,000 miles and climbing. The car is getting abit tired, and obviously they don't last forever. So in the near future I know a rebuld is inevitable. As a basic cost what should I expect, the only mods I would like to do are probaly a cam(lt4,open for suggestion on others), and 1:6 roller rockers?

 

I did the summit forged kit and it lasted forever with a lt4 hotcam kit. I did that back in like 99 I think I put about 40k miles on it without flaw. Then it was time for a bigger cam, real heads, and all forged internals. For the money you cant beat the summit kit..

 

With machine work, and parts assuming a ball park range; how much money should I exkpect to spend?

 

about $1500 if you use the parts above... summit kit $469 cam kit $500 block work $200-500 depending on what you have done. I had mine bored .020 over and called it good. which only ran $150.. My car did only have about 100k on it at the time so you might wanna have your block checked as well since you're nearly double the miles..
