How much $$ for machine shop work?
How much $$ for machine shop work?
I found an engine for my truck it's a 1978 460 with 4 bolt mains. How much can i expect to pay to have it bored .30 over, honed, and decked (if necessary)? Also due to the cost of new heads i am just going to have the old ones ported and polished for the time being. How much will that job run me?
