i did my set and it is still waiting to be put in to the engine. did for 200 bucks i think it was sometime ago.

 

damn that doesnt sound to bad. thanks man.

 

i got mine done here in missouri for $115. that included opening the wrist pin bore, narrowing the rod end, pressing in arp rod bolts, and shot peening everything so that it looked brand new. great work for a damn good price.

 

i paid 110 for almost everything as above ^

arp rod bolts, enlarged wrist pin hole, narrowed down sides, cleaned, line honed and shot peened.

 

It truely depends on what shop you go to. I had a guy here in Arizona that bead blasted and hot tanked my block, bored the cylinders to .40 over, polished my crank, shot peen my rods and install my new pistons, tear apart my head, bead blast and hot tank it, give it a 3 angle valve job, install new valve guides, seals, and valves for $300. That includes the new parts.

Most places I checked wanted more than that just to bore the block.

I just got lucky going to a busy machine shop and was handed a guys business card. 30 years as a machinist/mechanic for the postal service, retired and does work from his home shop. Did top notch work. Too bad he finally fully retired and sold all his equipment.

I've gone to two different shops here and the both do great work. One is a little cheaper than the other but a little further away. If you get out of the city a bit you may find a better deal. Ask around though.

 

alright guys thanks for all the input atleast now i have a ruff idea that it will run me anywhere between 100-200 dollars.

thanks for all the help.
