where do you guys go for your block machine work around marryland? i have a guy but he wants $500 to do a 5.3l to 5.7l bore job. i'm wondering if there is better/cheaper in the area.

 

for that money you could just get a 6.0 from the junkyard

 

depending on what else is being done, that sounds about right on the price. Around my area, a non ls 350 is about 600-700$ ready to bolt your rotating assembly in. does that price include the boring, hot tank, honing?

 

Wow that is alot of fukin money just to bore it. A standard bore and hone might run 200 around here.. I can have a whole engined balanced and bored for 500 buks.. The dena is close to you, check up around that area.. The guy that does my work is local to me, but would be a hike for you..

 

Mangled - How is your guy with LS stuff, has he done much and what sorta track record he got? Might need a forged rotating in something eventually!

 

yes it includes the honeing and hot tank and all. the does real good work. good enough that come about jan you wont hardly be able to get a block in there. most all the racers with high end motors around here go there.

 

He hasn't done many ls engines, but he also sends the rotating assem out to a place, house of balance, which have been in the game for years, are the ones who did the bottoms of out 565 inch dart motors.. As far the engine guy his record is great, just not alot of ls motors, I might have him assem the rotating assem for me...
