Does $1200-$1400 sound like a reasonable price for someone to do a longblock rebuild? That includes the cost of parts. This person is a well known rebuilder known for doing good work. For a 5.0 boring it .30 over

what does that price include?? bore cylinders??? valve job on head?? or just a scuff and dip paint it blue call it new deal overhaul??

Five0hFox

Yes, boring cylinders and valve job. Idk about paint though lol

man....that's cheap....don't know how that dude stays in bussiness...you can get a complete reman one at the parts store done for that....so he can't be making much on the deal

nope its $1,900 (went up some, due to demand) plus like $100 for shipping.

mjr46

yea that's a short block..this guy is talking about a completely refurbished long block

Five0hFox

Yeah this is a longblock rebuild. I just have to bring him the motor in longblock form. So that is a pretty reasonable price then? Many people I know told me he does good work. He was even recomended to me by the mechanic we go to, who is one of the better ones around.

damn that is cheap!
