John,
I am in the process of doing the same thing with a 396 BB.I got a machine shop to give me prices and what he that needed to be done.I will spend about $1200 for machine shop and $1200 for parts from P.A.W.(818)678-3000.
My machine shop is redoing my heads with a three angle valve job,mill heads,install hard seats,install valve guides,and clean and mag.
As far as my block I will get cleaned,mag,bore&
[email protected] over,Aligh bore block,deck block,install cam bearings,clean& mag rods,press pins into pistons,clean&mag crank,gride crank @.20 over,and last balance engine.
That will run about $1200 that is with out and parts.
From PAW I got what they call a deluxe master rebuilt kit.That comes with gaskets,pistons,rings,oil pump,main bearings.Then I got a Comp cam K kit.Its comes with cam,lifter,valve locks,springs,retainers,valve stem seals,timing chain w/gears.Also some extras I needed were stainless steel valve,cam bearings,roller tip rocker arms,push rods,cam button and cam plate.That all add up to less than $1200.
I hope before I am done with the engine I will put in about $3K.I plan to put the block together to be able to save a little of money.
