g73 318 LA Motor to be rebuild.

No idea building a motor would be $ 6,500.
Only upgrades will be the Aluminum heads, intake and 4 barrel carb.
( that will been seen) All other parts on the motor will be stock. Not doing the chrome, billet stuff. Car has a/c, power steering.
Cheapo speed disasters?
