just curious after reading a post on here. i paid around $1200 for:

.30 overbore
clearancing for stroker
line bore
hot tank, magnaflux
drill and tap for for splayed 4 bolt
freeze plugs & cam bearings
file fit rings
assemble shortblock

what kind of cash did you guys pay?
$1200 seemed like alot until i started typing all of the things they did down.

 

That sounds about right. My friends 436 stroker was right at 1000 for everything you mentioned except the splayed mains conversion. Machine work ain't cheap is it?

 

I have 1000.00 in machine work and no assembly and no line bore.But more than you had done on other things.

 

That seems about right. Mine was 900 assembled and balanced. But that was for a 355 not a 383. So add the extra price for the clearancing etc and it would come out about 1200.

 

THats not too far off of what I paid.
$100 bucks to clean and chase threads and cook the block.
$35 Clearance Block on mill
$150 Bore w/ plates
$200 4 bolt caps conversion
$150 Align bore
$100 purchase and install cam bearings, freeze plugs, etc.
$300 to assemble complete minus the intake
