440: Rebuild, Replace, or Sell

Well $3500 isn't that far off from $4000!
I bought an old drag car with a 600 HP and I dyno'ed it.
Paid $9000, kept the motor and trans and resold the chassis for $5000.
It sits in my 66 coronet now, I couldn't built a motor for that and I ended up with a built 727 too!

yeah but that 3500 was with headwork and aftermarket pistons/cam etc vs the 4000 for the stock rebuild. Big difference

the bore estimate is way too lite, double that for most places, maybe even more. Honing a crank? never heard of it !!

those were the numbers I was quoted from the shops in my area. I ended up paying 135 total for mine to go .030. as for honing a crank, i meant turning/machining or whatever you wanna call it. Sorry.
