Doing the job yourself, should be $600-$1000. A tired engine, would
need
new rings and bearings and a valve job. Maybe a valve or two.

Yeah take it from this ****ing Butcher. He is Sanford And Sons finest
tech! $600.00 thats all you need to do the job right! That's it!
That mutha ****a done run good now Mr.White...............

Well, maybe you pay more for parts. Is maybe because you are dumb as grass,
a little dumber than a chicken. Is this JimDummy again. Geeze, it's a
tired engine not a broken engine. 250 for valve job, 125 for gaskets and
rings and bearings are not going to set you back much more than 200. When
you can get a rebuilt longblock shipped to you for 1200-1500 and that
includes labor. Spend some money on getting an education! Captain, My ass!
Maybe of the SS Minnow.
