For all you guys who are building your own motors out there, whats your shop cost to vat/ bore/hone your stuff?

My work consists of
Remove Cam Bearings/Freeze plugs
Vat Block
Bore .030 over and hone
Install Cam Bearings
Vat stock intake, valve covers, and oil pan, oil pump pickup and misc bolts and parts.
Press old pistons off rods, and install new pistons on rods
I'm paying 196 bucks.
Sound like a good deal?

 

That sounds like a hell of a deal. My motor, bored .040, hot tanked, line-honed, new pistons, rods, crank, heads, heads assembled by the shop and new cam installed with all appropriate bearings, plugs etc ran almost 1800. Add 2500 for parts and I was over $4k for the whole thing and I did the install in my neighbors garage.

 

Where is this place?!

I paid about $1,300 for that work, then assembled it myself at home. (They wanted $300 more to assemble).

 

im installing my own plugs, and i bought my own pistons and i bought the cam bearings.
