Engine block machining question?

[Ptdartfreak]

What does your average machine shop charge to bore an engine .30 over.

Looking to get my 440 machined due to a cylinder full of water.

While i am machining the block what else shall i do?

Thanks

Chad

Why was the cylinder full of water? Block isn't cracked somewhere, I hope.

Right now I just want a estimate on a price to get it machined. I'm not sure how water got it but it has been sitting for years before I got the car.

Just looking for a ballpark price on what i'm going to need to spend to get it dipped and bored .30 over

A little over a week ago I was given a price by a machine shop of $200 to bore a V8 block IIRC.

Bore and hone w/ torque plate $200 + $80 to jet wash and mag.


Without torque plate, less.

Here in Oceanside ca.

The last time I took a block in they wanted to replace the cam bearings and frost plugs so it all adds up. On a hp engine they will check the main bore alignment too.

You'll find machining cost are very location specific.

Bore hone w/plate 200-280
Deck 100-150
Install cam bearings 50
Tank and mag 75-120
Line hone 150-200
Line Bore 250-450 usually not necessary unless it's really messed up.

Those are just ranges that you might pay

This also included a torque plate.
