Wow that cheap. It figures though; your in texas. Was your motor really up like mine or did you just wanna rebuild it?

 

mine had a cracked block, so i got another for $350 ( non-53) i got a machenshop that has checked it honed it, vatted it,miked it, everthing, and told me it was good. And that machenshop has check out 3 others for me and told me that they werent good, but this one is. and my mechanic is doing all the work for the rebuild and everyhting eles for $1350, (I know him real well) and the rest is in parts. totlated up to $3000

 

it al depends on what wrong with the motor. if the block and head is messed up ur looking at more than 4-5k. u said u were wanting to build a badass motor with a different cam and pistons from what i was gathering from ur post. if so ur looking at even more for the aftermarket parts.

 

i could have rebuilt it myself but i didt know what every thinkj tourqes down to, and i dont have a tourqe tool. and i didnt feel like messing with pulling the motor and puttin the other in

 

Tidewatermachine has balanced and blueprinted long blocks for $3000, shipping included. This is for an high quality engine that's built by people that do it right, not by someone who's just going to through a rebuild kit in it for the same money.

hahahaha..... if any of you have heard of lone star diesel power,,, thats whos doing mine

 

the machine work and rebuild kit for mine was $1600. new head $500. labor to put it together 4 cases of beer.

search on ebay for a rebuild kit

 

Thats sweet.. i wish i woulda had the time to take care of mine.. yea ebay has lots of rebuid kits from what i saw. larger pistons for if your borein it out as well, but i didnt get mine from there

 

never bore, always sleeve.

if all you are needing is a crank, bearings, cam and piston, you probably at 1400.00 in parts.

we have a shop in Massachusetts, we can balance, blue print and zero out your block.

 

Well my diesel shop quoted me at 6-7grand to rebuild my motor. He said he's pretty positive it's a rod knock from when my truck ran out of oil. I saw a COMPLETE rebuild kit online for like 700$. He said if my truck needs more machine work that price may even go up. Wow.
