hi,
first off im on a budget. im only 16 so that biudget is not much, around 2500 for engine, intake, and exhaust mods. I disasembled the short block and brought it to this machine shop and they quoted me 1250! that doesn't even include parts, i went to another one and they were 1450 w/out parts. i think its cuz my crank needs regrinding so then the rods need to be resized and balbalabla. so anyways

to make a long story short

is there anywhere i can get a short block for under 1000?

thanks.

 

I think you can get a new one at autozone or napa for around that cant you.

 

i didn't know about that, ill have to call and check that out.

anyone else know any info on this?

 

yeah you could, you could buy a rebuilt engine competely assembled for about that

 

go check out your local chevy or hot rod magizine and look for PAW performance adds, find a good rebuild kit for your engine and do it your self for MUCH CHEAPER, but i just had mine done for 700 even, without a hook up, now its 15$ to bore 25 to hone and so one, rather then like 75$ HA HA i got a hook up neaner neaner neaneeerrrr just kiddin
