Default Re: Is this normal?

Yeah, I understand things are a bit costly, however from what I’m seeing, these prices seem high. I figure I got about CAN$5K into my build (I did everything myself excluding machine shop work & short block assy), but that is all new hardware, gaskets, spark plugs, spark plug wires, bearings, timing gear, lifters, pistons, piston rings, water pumps, belt, reground crank, reground cam, resurfaced flywheel, a quality machine shop short block assy, rebuilt starter, generator, carb, fuel pump, oil pump, and distributor. Some of these engines I think are far from being “rebuilt” in my book looking at them. For comparison purposes, here is my engine.
