After my original 5.0 was destroyed when the cam bearings disintigrated, I sent off an '88 engine to the shop for a buildup. Now I just have to finish it up and get it into the car!

Even though it's not in talk, that looks pretty nice!

head bolts are bolts and head studs are studs with nuts that hold the head down.

I was surprised that a set of the Keith Black forged pistons were only $150 more than the hypereutectics so at that price I could not pass them up!

Thanks, I'm pretty psyched to get it in the car. They even blueprinted and balanced it to my balancer, flywheel, and front pulley.

If its ok to ask. How much did it cost? Can you kinda break the price down a little? I'm just wondering for future reference.

The shortblock ran about $1900 to have rebuilt.
