He has been open for 35 years and has done a good amount of Pontiac 400's. Love butler performance!!! Called them to discuss my build and they are coming in at 11.5k. They want to stroke out my engine and put in a roller cam. All great things but when I told them my plans they told me the price for a stroked 400 vs a mild 400 is essentially the same.
You are not replacing anything but bearings and possible the crank.. correct?? I think we all know it isn't going to be the same price as what Butler quoted you, if you are not trying to replace all the rotating assy parts. If you were going to go that route and replace the whole rotating assembly, than it would be adding another $1500-2000.00 to that total price at a minimum depending on what you went with. And I am sure that their (Butlers) shop rate is higher than the guy you are looking at going through.
