Total. Too much but I've already paid for it.
I could have redone a 350 for alot less.
Looks like my grand total will be $784.15.
Then I get to put it back together and get heads done. I can pick a pair of redone heads at another machine shop for $200.00 or have mine redone about the same.
Total about $1000.00 and a month of waiting.
Jegs has a goodwrench 350 for $1,299.00 with a warranty or like these guys said just get one out of a salvage yard.
I've learned a lot from my experience and I've never redone a motor before so I'm going to have fun doing it. I'm not mad but I probably won't go this route again.
My .02 from my project.
