Thread: What to do

Tweet

Thanks for the info. I was going to pass on the block at first because I see at PAW they are on sale for $400-$495. With all the work that needs to be done to the block I will be over that but under what Summit wants at about $795.

I was just looking at JEG'S and the parts to complete the heads would be ~$550 or so, not counting any machining and I see they have new heads for between $850 an $1100.

New cranks seem to be ~$180 to $250. I can just imagine how much it would cost to machine it.

Thanks Pat - I see your point. So do I spend the $70.00 to clean and mag the block and then put it on Craig's List and see if I can recoup my money? I would have $170 in it total at that point.

Your not too far from me. I actually pass by Bay City on my way to Cheboygan quite often.
