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?

-Jon

Thumbs up

HELLO, FRIST TIME ON THE BOARD. A FEW YEARS AGO I DID A 79 F100 w? A 460. I HAD IT ALL DONE AT PERFORMANCE UNLIMITED NORFOLK VA. BLOCK: DECKED, LINE HONED, BORE HONED. CRANK: POLISHED. RODS : REFURBISHED. NEW PISTONS & RINGS, BALANCED & BLUE PRINTED SHORT BLOCK. HEADS: NEW GUIDES & SEATS, NEW VALVES & SPRINGS, COMPLETE w/ 3 ANGLE VALVE JOB. COMPLETE LONG BLOCK ASSEMBIED FOR 1800.00
ADDED EDLEBROCK PERFORMER INTAKE, HOLLEY 750 VAC SEC, REMAN DIST, MSD INGITION, HEADERS, DUALS W/ H PIPE OUT THE BACK.

TIME 13.10 @ 104 MPH THATS WITH A 3.00 OPEN REAR END & A/C
HAD A 4.11 LOCKER TO START WITH BUT MPG'S WERE KILLING ME 8 OR 9 MPG. THIS WAS MY DAILY DRIVER @ 50 MILES PER DAY
WITH THE 4.11 I,M SURE IT WOULD GO MID 12,S

NOT TO SHABBY FOR A 5500.00$$ INVESTMENT
