Hey I was wondering if someone could give me a few prices a machine shop would charge me: boring and honing a cylinder, installing 4 bolt mains, porting cylinder heads and cutting a rear differential down to size

Thanks for the help,

Robby

last time i priced things like that, cylinder boring was like $10 per hole, likely more like $15-20 now. as for the others, figure about $60hr labor.

i paid 315 to have the block prepped. .030 over, hot tanked, freeze plugs, and new cam bearings installed. to resize the big end on the rods and attach the new dss pistons was 150. and 200 to balance the rotating assembly. almost forgot 55 on the crank to inspect, polish, and chamfer the oil holes. i would just install a main support instead four bolt mains.

Well that can be kind of expensive, I pick up my block on monday for my longrod 306, and to hot tank,magnaflux block,bore .030,deck to .000,torqueplate hone,line bore w/main girdle,cam bearings,freeze plugs,polish crank,deburr and hang pistons,balance entire rotating assy. it was like 1200.00. A little more than I planned but what are ya goona do, if ya want it done right its gonna cost ya, period. Porting can also be pricey, depends on who does it and how good they are.
