machining costs

i was wondering approximately how much it costs to have a 5.0 block cleeaned up, cylinders honed and have a crank re-balanced. just wondering because i'm going to rebuild a block on the side so i can just do a motor swap. I 've already got the rebuild kit with everything besides the crank and rods. thanks

All my machinig cost me $280 and that included: bore and hone block .030 over, press off old pistons and press on new ones, turn crank .010 under, install new cam bearings, and boil the block.

RE: machining costs

the block service could cost around $300( tank, mag flux , cam bearings, core plugs , ckank cut if ness. ) if it needs a aline hone in the crank journals it should be around a nother $75.00 I have yet to hafto have this done to a SBF but happens to SBC almost all the time , 4 bolt main my *** . the spin balnace is a $300.00 job alone and if the budjet alows for this I would recmond you do it .
