well making plans for a 408, need advice on machine services..
I'm trying to get a good idea on what it would cost to have a 351w block prepped.This will be my second rebuild on this motor
Its a 84 block with standard bore, reworked by me in 1995, driven on the street a year (2500+-500 miles)then set-up till now. I don’t remember what I had done to it except that I reused the original pistons, had the block honed.
Ultimate plan is a 408, so it would be new rods, pistons, crank etc. from a kit
What is the typical work a machine shop does in my situation? Should I get everything below? Do you think i'll need all this?Is there anything you'd advise i do?
Total Performance in Santee CA quoted me…..
Hot tank and mag………………………………………………...............75.00
Bore and hone w/torque plates………………………………….........165.00
Line hone mains…………………………………………………................105.00
Remove and replace cam bearings………………………………........30.00
Balance complete assem………………………………………..............165.00
Trial assemble and clearance stroker assembly…………………...175.00
Grand total………………………………………………………..................$715.00
Just for machining, seems high?
