| Description: |
You have a long block already built and now you want it to be a turnkey engine.
This is my labor to build on the long block to complete it to a turnkey engine.
Your long block will already fit the description of a long block as outlined in my Long Block category or it will cost more to build out. Additional labor is $80 per hour or part there of.
To have this work done by us, you must supply the following:
- A clean long block. Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be built out.
- Bring the long block, which consists of:
- The drain plate on the bottom
- The flywheel on the back
- No pulley on the front
- No shrouding or tin or exhaust
- Nothing on top
- Drain the oil. Bring with no oil in it
$450 for labor only, with parts, machine work, and any related shipping being extra.
$250 extra if you want the engine fired up and broke-in on our test car upon completion. YOU BRING 4 GALS OF FUEL. During the first run in process, which is 1/2 hour, I burnish in the cam to the lifters, seat the rings & check for leaks. At the end of the 1/2 hour I set the low end timing, jetting, idle speed & note the idle speed oil pressure. I then drain the run in oil, remove the oil filler & valve covers to cool the engine, set the valves again when the engine is cold & replace the drain assembly after cleaning it. For the 2nd run in I take the engine through its rev range and adjust the high end jetting, check the full advance of the distributor & note the high end rev oil pressure. After that is done, I shut the engine off and let it cool for a few minutes and then restart it to see if any additional fuel is needed for a quick start, without having giving it any throttle movement. Now I'm done. The engine is now ready to drive as you see fit. |
