to do the same thing. I'm not sure how these prices compare with other suppliers. The cam shaft was worn and needs reground as well as the lifters. The cylinder bores had a ridge on them at the top of the piston travel and the walls were tapered so they need re-bored and new pistons. Having new valves and seats installed.
Engine shop asked if I wanted to increase the horsepower any. I assume by adding a larger bore on the cylinder. With an original 3-spd tranny, a 55mpg upper limit and I don't plan on hauling heavy loads I am not sure what there is to gain by increasing HP. Any thoughts?
Costing me about $1000 labor on top of the $1300 in parts. Not sure what these services cost in other parts of the country. Here's what a local Engine/performance shop is charging me. Company does real nice work and have heard many good things about them. I can see why others drop in a crate engine...but then there are other costs involved with that. Have all the engine covers painted and other linkages/parts cleaned and painted. The engine is a big expense since I don't have the knowledge or equipment to do those parts. Body/window gaskets and painting will be the next big expense.
