ok so far my baby has ignition, intake, exhaust. time for some real mods. i want to do a complete engine rebuild with a summit complete engine rebuild kit. those go for around 900. my question is this, JUST GIMME A ROUGH GUESS on how much it would cost (just labor) to drive my car into a well known, high quality garage and do a complete rebuild. including the following.

30 bore
align hone
resurface block
all the proper sh-t to install my engine rebuild kit
cam install
bathe block
etc...

drive out of the garage with a brand new 306.

how much would this run for ROUGHLY. I have no idea for real so anything can help. thanks guys

FROM SUMMIT ?? i was lookin at a forged .030 over set for $470 !!!!! im guessing between $750-$1000 for all of that.

Labor and machine work... about $1200 - $1500

i was close enough. haha. idk. just call @ and ask b4 u get it done. just go w/ a reputable shop though. make sure they KNOW what theyre doing. i say just call around and ask for an estimate.

think about it, a grand for the kit, a grand for the rebuild and a grand for heads. 3 grand makes 400 N/A and RELIABLE horsepower. the car will run for another 20 years after that kinda rebuild. i think 3 grand is not a lot to keep an engine running for another quarter century!!!! hehehehe thanks for input *****..

well, if you have them pull the motor also that is gonna jack up the price. im gueesing for just labor(drive in and drive out) about $3k plus the parts
