[DeTomaso] Engine Overhaul cost

[charles buthala]

This is great info, did your costs include removal of the engine and installation back into the car?  Also did it include tuning?
  Mike, MD and Art. Thanks

a forged crank, H beam rods, custom forged 10.0:1 pistons, custom hydraulic
roller cam, roller rockers on a set of fully freshened quench heads with
one-piece stainless valves with 3 angle grind, new hardened seats and valve
guides in a virgin 351 block bored to .020. I didn't do any porting or
manifold work, but I did have the Holley 670 rebuilt to add a second idle
circuit, larger accelerator pump, new squirters and deburred throats (it's
now actually closer to a 700 CFM). Stock Edelbrock Performer for now.
Perhaps more top end later when the budget recovers.
Should be ready next week. The whole thing will be just around $6K.

In 2004, I had a 377 stroker Cleveland built for $5858. As I recall,
that included an acid bath for the block. Some of the parts included a
hydraulic roller cam, roller rockers, an offset ground crank and custom
pistons. I would imagine you could find someone to do a basic overhaul for
less than half that price, and maybe even a quarter of that price?
