I can only hope that price was mis-quoted.

I had no idea. I can remember getting V-8 short blocks with all new bearings & rings for $350 and if you wanted a long block with all new goodies they ran abot $700.

Based on that crazy chiz, building your own 3L is the ONLY way to go. For that kind of money, you can have it built & installed for you!



nope thats about right,i called last week out of boredom....even with my shop discount it was still 2700 and some change...
