Engine Rebuild Hey guys, before too long I'm going to put all the stuff in my car i keep buying: heads, cam, full boltons....my car has just under 80k miles. I'm going to end up pulling the engine so i can throw in new rod bolts and motor mounts while I'm in there. I was curious how much it would cost me to take my engine to a shop and have them replace all the bearings and all that jazz. I just want the extra insurance that I'm not going to throw a bearing in a couple years. Thanks.

Yeah I'll be pulling it and taking it to the shop (price permitting). I thought about going forged but I really don't anticipate needing anymore power than 450rwhp (my goal) as it is a DD. Shouldn't really need to go forged for that, but then again there's always future mods right? Out of curiosity, about how much would it cost to go forged? I should have a decent bit of cash left over from this deployment but i'm planning on saving a chunk of it for my 9" when my 10 bolt goes out.

Alright, did a little looking around and found it's not cost effective for me to get forged internals at this point. Now I'm just looking for a ballpark figure for how much a shop would charge me to have the bearings put in if I provide them. Thanks guys.
