Well, like I said, I will be picking up this a6 motor tomorrow, to start on my project a6 buildup. Here is what I have found so far. Please, add comments, and ideas. I know I will need them.
ENDYN Pistons 75.5mm 9.07-9.45:1 - $485.00 per set, $78 for rings.
Eagle Forged Rods - $349.99
Block- Well, this is where its a little tricky. I was looking into short blocks from JG Engine Dynamics. This is what they have: SOHC resleeved bare blocks. Ductile iron sleeves can accomodate up to a 79mm bore. Blocks include boring, honing, resurface, and Hot tanked. $650.00 exchange. Does that sound reasonable? Or should I look into a local shop for this type of work?
For the head, well, still researching into that.

I have never built a Honda motor from scratch but I can speak from a VW point of view because I have built craploads of those motors. A new Aircooled VW case that would have everything that you have listed would run you about 800 bucks. I would think that this price is reasonable. The question that I would consider is how much is a set of crank bearings for a Honda? For a Bug they are like 20 bucks. How much for an engine seal kit and other various gaskets? I think if I were to build a Honda motor from the bottom up i would defenitly have to think about this stuff. What are your plans for this motor anyway? All motor or forced induction?
