ok fella's just thought i'd brag http://www.chevelles.com/forum/cool.gif i found a shop near me that would charge $200 to check my short block out, clean it up, put it back together for $200, i need a balancer too (don't have one yet) but i mentioned stroking it and he said he had a fella order all new parts to stroke one and never picked em up so he would stroke mine and do all the rest for $700 total! that NEW
Crank
Rods
Pistons
Balancer
Fly wheel
including the cleaning, checking etc. sounds like a deal to me (just have to see what pistons he has and if they are the compression i need.

sorry to rub in all the deals i get but it takes a lot of work to be a cheapskate like me http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif
oh forgot to mention he would buy my pistons/rods off of me or give me some trade in value to boot.
