About $3500 in stone stock 8BA longblock

$2600 at machine shop which included: magnaflux, clean, bore, fix block cracks, polish crank, new pistons, rings, bearings, adjust valves, gaskets.

$600 for oil pump, screen, timing gear, adjustable lifters, valve guides, studs.

$200 cap, rotor, wires, plugs, points, condensor

$100 fuel pump and carb kit.

That doesn't count the core engine, clutch, flywheel, water neck, radiator, hoses, belt, fuel pump stand, front pulley, misc bolts and fittings, lubes and sealers, oil, etc. which is probably another $1000.
