Im rebuilding the engine on my first car(94 Z28) because it has over 200,000 miles and runs like crap so I was wondering how much the work would cost. Ive already got the lt4 Hot Cam kit, New .30 over Speed Pro pistons ,Sealed Power Rings ,GM Perforfance Lifters, GM Performance Waterpump,GM Performance Oilpump, SLP Thermostat,Grantelli Fuel Pump,MSD Distributor and Ignition Kit,Cloyes Timing Chain, March Pulleys.
I plan on having the block degreased, bored .30 over,Pressure tested and magnfluxed and having the heads pressure tested, anyone have an idea what that will cost?
Does anyone know of any machine shops near Baltimore,MD?
Please let me know, Ive had this car for 2 years and have yet to drive it, Im only 17 and building this car on my own.

 

You aren't going to have the heads reworked?

 

I dont have much money at all since I have a broken ankle and cant work and my parents owe me over $500 but as soon as I get the money I plan on getting the heads done.

 

Its not going to be cheap, Karl Elwien is in your area, he does fabulous work. Machine work alone, you are looking at around 1200.00. You can do LE1 heads for 750.00 from LLoyd Elliot. Good luck with your rebuild. I suspect you are going to have to go back to work to accomplish it.

 

if you want to do it on a budget you can always look at the rebuild kits from summit

how much does gm want for a waterpump? you might be able to upgrade to an electric for same if not cheaper
