I'm looking at getting a 6 bolt freshened up. I'd like to reuse the rotating assembly and just get rings and bearings thrown in, as well as have the head freshened up.

I had my former crew chief give me a quote, as he has his own machine shop. If I drop off the motor and pick it up ready to drop in, he wants $1950 all said and done. This surprised me, as I can pick up a short block with a new rotating assembly from MAP for 2000.

Any one know what I could expect for a ballpark estimate from Gosh for a rebuild?

Thanks and I appreciate any comments.

Gosh does their motors, why not cut to the chase and cut out a middle man?

He did my head, I wasn't happy with it after I had another machinist look at it after my valve stem seals failed.

building an engine is pretty easy.....but if you have money in place of ambition, bring it to modern

For that price, you might as well buy my built motor...
