Can you post up the price of the machine work when you're done? I'm debating building a motor or just buying one since LM has 408 shortblocks for pretty cheap.

Going to be about 1000 for the machine work. He quoted me before I left.
That's for the cleaning, new cam, rod, main bearings, bore/hone, checking the block polishing crank, filing of piston rings and complete assembly.
Includes the price of new main and rod bearings that he will be getting for me
I'll be just under 3000 for a full short block
May be a few things I missed
Who's LM? Livernois?

Yeah, I don't know how much shipping would be but they want $3500 for a 408 with a new block.
3k is a decent price I assume for a 370?

Shipping I'm pretty sure is another 200$ being freight though I don't believe they will deliver residential and then tax on 3500$. Probably looking closer to 4k
Its putting a little extra in my pocket and I don't have to dish out 3500$ in one shot. Since the entire build is being funded by side jobs

You'll make some back when you sell off your old stuff. When are you going to have the longblock assembled?

For the time being I am just going to go with PRC 5.3's then while I have my heads off I probably will have them sent out and done by TEA, depending on how the car runs and feels with those heads.
Like I said my entire schedule was bumper up by 6 months since I need to get this done before I move so it put some strain on me financially to do it all of a sudden.
We shall see what comes in the long run once its tuned

I recommend you call TEA and get a quote. I supplied them my 243 heads and assembled the valve train myself making the total cost considerably less. With that said, I forget what valve springs you have with your current setup which may not like a MS3. They also had the heads back at my door 10 days after sending them out!

Have the PRC gold .650" duals right now with the v2, but I'm getting new.
Trying to minimize down time since the work won't be done at my house. Have less then three days to do it
If I can convince my buddy to let me send them out and have that down time at his place then I will probably do the stage 2 on the heads I have.

Thankfully the bigger stuff is out of the way. You going to assemble the MMs on the motor first, or on the kmember?
Sweet!
