hope all that cures your issue

You paid 540 for labor and parts? Damn that is a bad *** deal. I paid 1200 for an assembled 351w block from crankshaft and valve.

You and me both, thanks for all the help in the past trying to narrow it down though.



Javier:

Yeah it was only 540,but i didnt get any cyl. bored or anyting. I had a vibration and pretty much had it freshened up once again (it only had 3000 miles on it) balanced, check and all new bearings, ect.....

What saved me some money is gary at the shop only charged me 165 to assemble and 100 to balance, and it was suppose to be 225 to assemble and 175 to balance. So noe i got money left over to for some much needed parts, waterpump, paint....ect.

Sweet deal!

I don't know how but when I got my 347 it was a deal of a lifetime.

Block already bored, cleaned, etc. Complete SCAT rotating assembly with bearings, a harmonic balancer all for $1000 shipped! I just needed to get it balanced again since it was balanced with the flexplate that the guy had and I needed to have it done with the flywheel I was going to use. I assembled it myself as well along with clearancing the block for the stroker rods.

if a stroker motor is done right. balanced properly it shouldn't matter if you ever have flywheel and or balancer failure and need to replace it with another, remooving weight from the flywheel is a horrible way to do it.....I got screwed on such on a motor 2 years ago from a **** poor machine shop whose slogan was "where the bigg dawgs roll", yeah my stuff rolled all right...all over the place

Oh jesus, that sucks. Well, I got it balanced not only for that fact but piece of mind as well.

mjr46

yeah I didn't realized he had removed weight from the flywheel, so when I threw on an aluminum flywheel that threw everything off even more....to the feel at idle and normal drive it seemed okay but after a few higher rpm runs the bearings were shot.

Man i bet you were mad. You would think a relieble machine shop would know better than to do that.

key word being reliable..........nope just pointed to a sign on the wall that said no warranty on hp motors.
