Anyone have an average cost to true deck a 400 block
Thank you Sir ! I really want to true deck this 400 block before I build it ! Yes I understand it’s gonna be different everywhere ! Just wanted some idea …..That's gonna vary a good bit by location, but my guy here does it for 175. That's getting it parallel to the crank center line AND squaring it up too.
Sho nuff.Thank you Sir ! I really want to true deck this 400 block before I build it ! Yes I understand it’s gonna be different everywhere ! Just wanted some idea ….
That's not bad.I called Morgan and Son Racing Engines today ! True deck, bore, and torque plate honed 550.00
That's decent. See if they will tell you what they use for a reference for the deck and also how they locate the cylinders when they bore.I called Morgan and Son Racing Engines today ! True deck, bore, and torque plate honed 550.00
I will see if they will ! What’s the correct answer to both those questions ?That's decent. See if they will tell you what they use for a reference for the deck and also how they locate the cylinders when they bore.

I have no idea, because that's gonna be totally dependent on their equipment. If they tell you they use a piece of paper on an arbor stuck down in the bore to locate the bore, find another shop. The guy I use uses a Rottler. This one in fact:I will see if they will ! What’s the correct answer to both those questions ?
They build a lot of engines around here in this part of the country ! They all run fast ! I didn’t think they would mess with my Mopar stuff ! But to my surprise they do ! Even got torque plates for Mopars ! We have a lot of machine shops around here , and none of them like mopars ! Long waiting list though!I have no idea, because that's gonna be totally dependent on their equipment.

Rottler EM79ATC Multi Purpose Vertical CNC Machining Center with Automatic Tool Changer That thing can do it all and do it right.
They don't like Mopars cause they burn a Mudhole in their ***, then turn around and Roll the tires till it's dry....after the Mopar pulls out their Headlights!They build a lot of engines around here in this part of the country !
