what is the cost of boring honing checking a 440 block including line honing i got a 440 block from a friend looking to build a street stroker should i use the block or invest in a new block using pro comp heads small solid aprox 600 lift cam don't want to waste money looking for a good machine shop around st.louis
Costs vary dramatically from location to location. Some shops in rural areas would probably do that work for around 350 bucks.. Not around here.
Whatever you do, invest in a sonic test before investing anything in that block.. If the machinist tries to talk you out of it find another shop. If the block is pretty thin, then dont use it or save/sell it for a resto motor.

Anyone that cheap is not to be trusted. At those prices they couldn't afford the proper machinery.

Better plan on getting those heads checked out & corrected, too. Procomp's not exactly known for rigid quality control standards.

But you would be surprised what I hear people pay for stuff in the more rural areas. Here you couldn't touch anything for that kind of money. And dont think just because someone has updated, state of the art machinery that you are going to get a good job, either. There are shops that have older equipment thats all paid for but still turn out nice work.

Thats cheap for a sonic check, but otherwise, I'd say thats right in line with pricing here...
