Need advice on a motor from the experts

[rgs455]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but here goes....

I need a new motor for my GN and found a built one at a local machine shop. It is a stock block bored .020 with Wiseco pistons, stock rods and the crank is .010 under. Champion aluminum heads with 206/210 roller Comp cam, roller rockers, double billet chain, ARP billet center caps, and ARP bolts throughout. They want $7200 for it. How does the price sound to you?

By the way, it has been sitting at the shop for a couple of years and they do want to move it.

Thanks!

Sounds like a fair deal. Has this shop built many buick motors?

For 7200 I would want it pulled down and inspected and reassembled if it has been setting that long.

Sounds pretty good to me but $6500 sound even better. LOL!

heres a pretty good deal, built with some very good parts

 

[rgs455]

Yes, they're familiar with Buick motors.

If it's been sitting there and they need to move it then work the price. Someone paid for the parts, probably not them.

I would have to inspect the motor, and be specific on what parts they use in it.

Tell them 5k...out the door no questions asked....

For 7200 yeah, I would want it torn down and inspected first...that 2200 gives you a little bit of a "cushion" if anything is found to be wrong...
