shop in so-cal for engine rebuild?cost?
I posted this in LT1 tech with no responses...
I live on camp pendleton in san-diego/oceanside area and when i get back i will be pulling the motor for a low-compression 383 rebuild. I will be supplying the dis-assembled block with the crank, rods, pistons, rings, bearings, timing chain assy, and cam. I'm looking to get the block completeley cleaned, balanced, clearenced, bored, zero decked and assembled. Does anyone know a reputable shop some where in southern california?
How much do you think this would cost?
all opinions welcomed and experinces with your shop and how everything went with the whole process would be nice too.
Thanks,

I've been shopping around for a rebuild also and your basic 383 with Eagle forged crank, rods, and SRP/Diamond/Probe pistons set up is going to run about $2800-$3100. I contacted Don Lee and that set up is going to run $3190 plus tax .... he also had the Lunati stuff which would increase the price to $4990.
You might want to give Kennard a call at Burbank Engines....he's got 20+ year experience working on small blocks and has a few F-bodies himself.
