go online RS Machine pistons are like 210$ shipped yo yer front door n idonno about 70$ for arp rod bolts thats a lil up there...& it has a hone i can hone a block my self...& ya there are a few things a couldnt do like pressing the rods together n such but like i said with me honeing the block wouldnt spend more than like 100$ @ a machine shop...Just saying 700$ is steep the crank wasnt even mircopolished n balenced

 

there are a lot of little things that go into it that add up. I have never personally put a motor together so i did not do the work myself. If i were to do it myself, of course i could have done it cheaper and i would be selling it a lot cheaper. Not everyone is capable of building blocks themselves. Yes im sure you can do the hone yourself at home but i bet its not going to be as good as if it was done at a machine shop. I had this motor sent out to a really good machinist in the area who did the block work and everything and it was professionally assembled. I called shops around here how much they charge to assemble a motor and i got quoted all sorts of prices, from 300-600 and thats just assembling. Im willing to listen to offers but im not gonna sell this block for 250 like you think this block is worth because its clearly not.

 

$700 = FAIL

I can build this out of leftover parts in the garage.

 

well i pm'd you. friend wants it and has 350 cash, if thats too low you can completely disassemble the block so that i would have to put it back together myself. that will cover the labor that went into it

 

wow if this is the going rate for used short block with stock itr pistons (RS MACHINE )haha
then i can make some serious cash lol if you paid more then 700 to build this short block im sorry but you got screwed
dam now that you got degreaser all down the dip stick hole lol

 

400 cash and will pick up
