your going to need the block bored, honed, and clearanced. You are also going to need a new crank, rods, pistons plus rings, bearings etc.

The prices depend on who does the work and where.

It is about $150 to bore the block .030 over and about an hours labor to get the kit clearanced. Then you could spend extra money on having the block plate honed.

It costs about $150-$300 to balance the kit (dampner to clutch). I forgot the cost to deck. Before you deck and and balance the block you have to pay someone to mock up the motor to check for interference problems. Then give the block back to the shop to finish. Not sure the cost to let the shop check this.

In Marin, I paid $1800 for a balancer, pushrods, mill and verify head cc's, check valves, balance, blueprint, bore, plate hone, mag, hot-tank, deck, check line hone, and mockup.

If you call Brian at ADperformance.com he can get you a 347 assembled and shipped to your door for around $2200! Cheap!

im going to take a guess and say he means it doesnt sound like you know much about cars or how to work on them.

with that aside, you would need the block to be bored, honed, and i would also recommend getting the block decked. i'd say just machine work your lookin at about 5-700 bucks
