Whats the estimate for a forged 347 (pistons, rods, polished crank, new untouched heads with all the works) including labor and with me providing the block (old blown block)? I'm thinking around 8 for the total rebuild.

 

with removal and reinstall Id say about $5000

 

just use a stock crank, eagle rods and je pistons. i'd say that should be a little bit cheaper than 5 g's.

 

$3500-$4000 depending on core.

 

Hmmm....I guess I'm way off maybe? Anyways, 8g's is what my builder is charging me and I was just wondering if thats an average price.
It includes:
stock polished crank
diamond pistons
lunati rods
all machine work
6.0 heads
new cam
pushrods
lifters
ls6 oil pump
arp head bolts and studs
160 stat
mls head gaskets and other misc gaskets and seal
blueprint, assembly, install, and tuning

 

well worth the price for not having to deal with it. just turn key and go. wish i would have done that

 

I have a Cartek forged LS1 motor for sale with all the stuff u listed minus the head studs. Has S2 241 heads on it. 232 blower cam in it. I put bout 45 miles on it before i pulled it out of the car i bought. It put down 603 rwhp. Looking to get $6000 out of it. Justin

 

My rough quote was for a shortblock without heads/cam, coverings or accessories.

A complete longblock with heads turnkey will be more. Too lazy to price that setup at the moment.

 

Figure $3,500 - $4,000 for the short block + $1,000ish for install + $500ish for tuing + $1,500 - $2,500 for heads ( depending how crazy you get ).. It adds up quick.

all machine work $400
