The stocker rebuild for my 8ba ran around 3 grand. That included mag test, sonic test, boring, hot tanking, decking the block, surfacing and blasting the heads, all new internals (from Red's), new french rods from SoCal, rebuilt pumps from Skip, all new valve assembly (Chevy valves) and one seat, plus assembly of the short block. The crank didn't need to be turned. This doesn't include the carb rebuild that I had Charlie N.Y. do a while ago, the Bubba Chevy diizze, or the 4 row radiator from the Brass Works. Add those costs and you're looking at over $4500.00. That said it sure runs good.
