Default engine build up price.

You are going to need to have the block honed for the new pistons, have the rotating assembly balanced, surface the deck, and have the crank turned. This is going to run you ~$600 or so, depending on the machine shop. Assembly would be an extra $250-400.

Thanx Man,when i get the block surfaces how much will that affect the Cr will i not have to get the heads milled to raiise the Cr.And will i have to have shorter rods are will stock length work? And what about the push rod length will i have to get shorter ones. What aboiut if it is a spun bearing what will they have to do to the block to fix that?Also where is a good place to et the bearings and is there a place that has alike a kit for all the gaskets and bearing and stuff ?Sorry abotu all the questions but im trying to see if it will be worth it to buy this car.
