So with a lack of time this winter I'm going to be forced into having someone else handle my engine rebuild. Called around to a few spots and think I've found my guy but looking to poll and see what other folks have paid. I know that every build is unique and costs can skyrocket off what your plans/needs are. I'm looking to redo my lower my Pistons and rods are fairly new but crank has already been buffed once so may have to be replaced. Aside from that just brgs. For the top half I'm going to complete my eddlebrock rpm setup with their alum rpm heads and cam.
Just over the phone my guy is saying about 2000 for lower rebuild with gaskets and misc. items inc. (timing chain etc.) The heads and cam are on me to supply. I figure about 4,500 to 5,000 with him putting it on the Engine Dyno.
I would love to do a butler engine but 11.5k is too much for me to swing. Let me know if my pricing is way off base. I'm not locked into this machine shop so I'm also open to suggestions.

*** note my engine was rebuilt 1500 miles ago it just sat for 12 years. I'm fairly sure it's a flat spotted Brg. The noise is minimal and believe I cought it super early.
