MY machinist assembled my last short block.He also did all the machine work.Bored and plate honed it,turned polished crank,resized rods and installed new ARP bolts,drilled 1/2 inch pickup and opened up oil passages,balanced, blueprint,deck block and square,supplied a few parts, file fit rings,clearanced it,turned flywheel degreed cam and some more stuff.My total bill was under $1300.He also did the build for my sons 360 that he built.That was about 14 years ago.So it would be more now.He is one of those guys that you just trust to get it right and know that it is.Been a one man shop for 30 years plus.That and he has more work than he can handle.Most repeat customers.Rocky
