Hello:
I am new to the hobby and saw this post regarding new engines.
I have a question regarding the cost of an engine overall.

I see in the link you've provided that cost is $3500 dollars for basic parts " 5-Main block, Crankshaft, Connecting Rods "but doesn't clarify if bearings and what other parts come with cost of $3500? Does that cost cover short block price with the ancillary items included to assemble it or is everything extra? How do I find out what the extra parts will cost?
I have a 29 Tudor that needs an engine rebuilt and I'm weighing options of rebuilding it versus replacing it. Can you clarify what an engine would cost?
I have estimated through the rebuilders what my engine may cost but I don't know what a new one will cost all in?
Thanks
