Rebuild

Anyone know how much it would be to have an engine rebuilt, except being rebuilt w/o heads, valvetrain, cam, and intake?

Would any shops even do this?

Re: Rebuild

This is the exact question I needed to ask. I was figuring around a grand, but I hope I'm wrong.

Re: Rebuild

If your thinking of rebuilding to stock and given the costs of engine rebuilding it will be cheaper sourcing a low milage engine from a wrecker and using it.

Ask around. Call a local wrecking yard and get a price. Also call a rebuilder and get a price from him. Won't take long and you will have your answer, and it will be accurate cause it is your local.

Re: Rebuild

What I was mainly wondering was if it would be possible for a shop or wherever to just do a 'partial' rebuild...leaving out some of the parts that would be upgraded (basically to reduce the unecessary waste of spending money on stock parts that will just be replaced anyways.)

Re: Rebuild

So what do you want? have a short block put together?

Re: Rebuild

Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread, but what I wanted to have done is have them completely clean out the block and put new seals and stuff in. Then, I need them to put on the 3400 intakes, heads, etc. on. I'm still debating on whether to have them install the engine or just do the rebuild, then I could put the engine back in. Oh, and also put in my new cam. :cool:

Re: Rebuild

Someday (If I still have it) I have plans for my engine. Not going to build it up w/ 120K on it tho, and dont feel like paying $2K plus for a crate engine w/ parts that I don't need.

I would have head work, new valvetrain, cam...

So everything else would need to be rebuilt or whatnot, would a shop do that?

Re: Rebuild

im sure a shop will build u a shortblock and whatever else u want rebuilt...u might could find a engine shop and just buy a new block and use your block for the core charge thats what im doing with my 87 gta 350...

Re: Rebuild

I'm expecting the costs of the 'goodies' to be $5,000...

So I'll dig around and see what the most affordable option is...the Camaro situation is looking good tho :)

Re: Rebuild

well my 383 is listed at 635$ for a shortblock with a core charge so im sure u can find a good engine shop thats not expensive either for just a v6
