I was quoted and paid $150 to have the block powder blasted, bored, honed, cam bearings and freeze plugs installed. This is my first true rebuild. I have completely disassembled 1 other engine and partially bolted a Chevy engine back together. It's not hard, just take your time and seek advice from experienced people when you have a question. It would be a good idea to get a good engine rebuild book. I have done a lot of reading research on the net, too. LOTS of valuable info here on PY!!! Good luck! Mine should be done and in in another 2 weeks!!! 455 bored .060 over with Lunati cam, 6x-4 heads.....should be around 480-500hp.
