Default RE: buildin 306? questions

depends on how much work the block needs to make it strait and true

the 306 i just got done building the block neede a lot of work the normal bore and hone cam bearings,tanked,magnfluxed,was like 350 i think. but i also had to main line bore it and they had to deck it to get it nice a and flat that was another300 bucks .then i had the stock rods installed arp bolts,resized the rods and shot peened,another 150,also hang my new pistons and had them gap the rings another125, as you see it gets expensive i had a total of 1400 in machine work as i had my valve springs swapped out and i forgot with new pistons,balancer,billet flywheel u will have to balance as i did another 225.
