Billet Block and heads are available for Evo, and cheap does not describe them.

To make a billet block and head, you have to design them, and figure out how to be clever designer to make it manufacturable.
Aluminum is not iron, and casting and machining are two different processes.

If it was easy to make something like that good, better then OEM, and affordable, someone would have offered it a long time ago, and cheap.

Block from Bullet may be $10000, and head from SME maybe $6500+, bare.

Not worth it at all. Just get a oem Block and head. It will handle more power than youl ever need. Billet is a waste of money. IMO billet blocks/heads dont even look nice either. Cheap looking.
