Mr. Fix it,
You Guys on the West Coast are fortunate to have shops like that still available! Our "Speed Shops" sell more Truck Accesseries than speed equipment. Things sure have changed over the last 35 years!
I had my SBC done about 7 years ago and it cost me $189.
(moment of weakness). It cost the engine builder quite a bit though. It seems he thought he would take a little short cut, and save a couple of bucks on the build.(lump sum). Well it seemed to him that since they were all new pistons, why balance rotating assembly?
Engine back in the Car and found out that there was a distint vibration at 2,500 rpms. Engine back out, torn back down, and reassembled, and reinstalled. All for $189! The kicker si that it was in my 76 Vette. All the room in the world right?
Take care,
Bud
