    It does not compare. Real estate where I live is easily 625% of what it is where you live.

    You are within 25bucks one way or the other.... so i'd say you're in the ballpark.
     
  4. Sounds like a deal to me.
    30 line items and it averages out to $17.50 each
    1 Clean block
    2 Magna-flux block
    3 Magna-flux crack
    4 Cut and polish crank
    5 Cam bearings
    6 Freeze plugs
    14 Bore X8
    22 Hone X8
    30 Piston R&R X8
     

  5. Mill heads and block, refit three wrist pins, clean parts, fit bearings, polish and balance crankshaft,
    valve job with one exhaust seat. $ 1000.00
     
  6. That's less than 1/2 price here in Washington. Get it done before he changes his prices.

    I checked about 2 yrs ago for complete machine service on a 327 with new parts, my crank, less heads.. and a rotating assembly was $2500.
    Checked 2 different reputable shops and they were neck and neck with prices.

    402Bossman, this price came from Car Quest, west O street, Lincoln.
     
  10. That's a bit more than I pay here even with the exchange. But not much.
