Planning first engine build, need help

I said that about 10 posts ago it would cost some about $2,500...
one thing people need to keep in mind is he already said this was rebuilt by the previous owner and a ton of money. That it had 10 to 1 compression and an aftermarket cam. So it could idle kind of rough and that is how it's supposed to run. Has anybody mentioned that the slant sixes love to get a valve adjustment....

if it’s already been rebuilt it could cost him a lot less. Mine was out of a 77 and had never been rebuilt.
