i just called a local machine shop in my area and talked to the guy for about an hour, turns out hes build quite a few lt1's and is very knowledgeable with them, even has a 96 z with a 396 lt1, offered to take me for a ride when i drop my block off, anyways...
he said if i brought my block to him, i could pick it back up as a complete 383 short block, with an eagle 4340 3.750 stroke crank and 4340 6inch h beams, and forged srp pistons, cam bearings freeze plugs all that good crap, he said it would be in the $ 2,300 to 2,500 range
thats a pretty good deal isint it? compared to some of the prices ive seen on websites and things, and ive asked around that heard mostly good things, only that he may take awhile to build it, but i have all winter so im not worried about that, just wanted some opinions on the price, thanks guys
