Well i bought a 87 Mustang a few weeks ago. And it has 131,000 miles on it. Theres ambsolutely no smoke from the motor. There is no liftter tap or anything. The engine is really sound. The only think is im going to put a cam in it and some heads. So i figured id be changing the cam bearings, lifters, pushrods rocker arms. So im just going to yank the motor, and do the whole thing. Im going to do all of the work myself but i was curious how much it would cost to get the block bored, honed blueprinted and balanced. Im going to porbably put a stock bottom end in. Because all im going to do is a E cam, and im thinking about trickflow or edelbrock heads. And thats it besides roller rockers. Anybody have any estimate?

-Edit- Im looking to spend as little as i can. Because i just want this motor to get heads and a cam and then thats it because i want to start working on my 67. And i don't want to have a slouch to drive around everyday
