lt1 engine rebuild
might be better in the LT1 tech section, but im looking for a quick answer. what would a basic rebuild cost for an lt1? including machine work, gaskets, maybe some headers. looking for a ball park figure
#4
well, it would be a stock rebuild, reuse stock crank, cam, pistons/connecting rods, probably new rockers/pushrods. headers i figure about 200-300

If the head and deck are close enough to flat and the rest of the engine is in pretty good shape, no spun bearings or scored crank or deep scratches in the cylinder wall, you could probably do it for $500. That's assuming you do just about everything yourself, and just get the block tanked/honed.

EDIT: If you do do it alone I have .010" under rod and main bearings and 9966 headgaskets I could get you a great deal on.

It really depends on what went wrong.
Chances are if you are needing a rebuild its going to cost you more than 200-300 dollars.
Machine work generally is not cheap. Plus you never know what else could have gone bad after the intial failure.

For a standard 4" bore? I think I paid sub-$100 for rings for a SBC, unless LT1's take completely different rings.
