Tapping the block to 1/2" threads, machining of the lifter bores, degreeing of the cam, setting lash etc. Basically assembly of the entire engine was only 600. I think he charged me around 65 to assemble the engine since "he'll already be in there" most cant even touch the porting and head work he did for 600.
I'm sure he is very good at what he does. From what I could see of the heads they look good. Would have to see them inperson to be sure.

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. --
