The machining and engineering of the block and balancing of the assembly has finally been finished.
I’ve published a list of costs below, so that anyone contemplating rebuilding a Mopar small block can get an appreciation of the costs involved. Pics of the rotating assembly will follow shortly.
Salibas were very reasonable on price, and my builder got me a good deal.
Time frames were “OK” but I think there’s a general rule of thumb with engine re-con places – they work to their time lines, no-one else’s!
Total $1662.00
I also brought in a new shipment of parts this month, and among customers items, I brought over two sets of rocker gear – some 1.6:1 Crane alloy rockers and some 1.5:1 Comp stainless rockers.
My builder and I will see if the installed height of the valve springs and Piston to Valve clearance will accomodate the 1.6:1 ratio, if not, I’m more than happy with the 1.5:1 Comps!
I also have two more sets arriving in January, which I will sell on top of whatever I don’t use for my engine. These sets are another set of 1.6:1 Crane Golds and a set of Harland Sharps!
