Engine machining costs??

You are correct I called him back after I read all your responses he did the ballpark price in his head and forgot to add short block assembly price...another 450!! After reading what you’re paying I fell like I’m getting a good deal.so the total will be around 1700

Well that’s cheaper than I would build a race shortblock for so if it’s done right it’s on the cheaper end of the scale. By time I file fit rings, mic and set clearances, clean the block, degree the cam, document all measurements, assembly rods and pistons, etc, I would make about what I make porting heads. Lol. Doing this for fun and having a good paying job always made picking and choosing a lot easier. Good luck with your build, keep us updated, and have FUN.
