thats about right for the job.
cya
uhh i agree!
MY girdled shortblock with .020 JE pistons came in under 1900 bucks, they installed the girdle, checked line bore, i had all holes chamifered, oil holes opened up,bored, cam bearings freeze plugs ect ect- and i had them assemble the long block too-
and for price differences..
i just finished up a stock rebuild for a friend of mines 87 GN
we used the stock pistons, he bought new napa piston rings, head gaskets and bolt kit, napa clevite cam lifter and timing chain kit ,all bearings, oil pickup tube, 1970 small block valve springs-
then we went to parts america and purchased the felpro front cover gasket kit, and pan gasket-
EVERYTHING above cost him around 600.00 for the rebuild-
but i have all the tools to get it done in my garage, thats where it will kick you in the butt!
his car has te45a, napa 204/214 cam,ported lower intake, ART CARR 9 inch non lockup-
last time to the track it was running street chip, pump gas and radials, 2.2 sixty foots 12.90's at 112
not bad for a garage built engine on a budget
