Engine Machine Work
So I decided to rebuild my engine instead of buying a crate engine so I know what's really in it. I stripped the block down and called my local machine shop that has a great reputation. I asked how much it would be to have the old tired 350 machined. I was shocked when he told me about $300 for cleaning, boring, R&R cam bearing work, new freeze plugs, decking, and magnafluxing. Does that seem right? Also have I missed anything you guys can think of that is necessary in the machine work I should ask about? Keep in mind this is basic machine work not any assembly work. I tried to get him to stick the pistons and crank in but he's getting older and doesn't do that anymore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
