Default Engine Re-Build

About how much does it cost to have your engine rebuilt for you. I've seen kits from summit for about $600, but i'm wondering what a shop would charge to do the work...

Buy a book and learn to do it yourself. It really depends on what kind of work you want done, and how you want to build it.

his intake is just ordered^^^^^




it depends really on what you all get. cheap gets you by but isnt always the best case. and remember stock parts are still good use them just have them freshend up. stock internals are pretty stout its the blocks webbing thats the weak link
