I charge $500 flat to assemble a V8- that includes stress reliving the block and oil hole correction for/with bearings.

Head porting is something I've done since 78. --

He did a fair amount of work to save the heads, some jackwaggon ported the heads by eye and damn near ruined them.

I know that the amount i was charged is unmatched by any company i've heard of, considering all the work. Being across the street from the shop helps alot too. I'm sure thats all factored into the cost.

They've been in business for about 40 years now and Shawn was an engineer of the ZR-1 corvette back in the 90's. He's kind of an eccentric fellow but most sharp cookies are.
