wow that actually sounds like a killer deal. how much more for your assembly?

If you just want the shortblock assembled, figure $600.  That includes washing the block, mask and paint, installing cam bearings, measuring rod and main bearing clearances (mic and dial bore gauge), and file fit rings.  Not just a toss together and hope it runs deal. 

Feel free to PM if you need a complete long block assembled, or would like my phone number so you can talk to me directly.

Hmmm.... damn I need that thing.....

I have a friend heading to Mojave Speedway this weekend, might be able to get it up there without any shipping charges.

A buddy of mine had a motor build buy a guy name Barry out of Glendora ca.

That would probably be me, ,but who is your friend?

Thanks for all the "welcomes" from all you guys, I don't see a multi quote button anywhere?

I have all the pieces for a mild 468 shortblock if someone wants to do it themselves and save some money. 2 bolt block freshly bored and honed to 4.310" (actually 4.311" for marine use), new hypereutectic pistons mounted on freshly resized GM rods and Sealed Power moly rings, assembly precision balanced by one of the best using degreed GM balancer and new flexplate. I will include all new Clevite rod and main bearings, rear main seal, and new cam bearings. All the legwork is done, $1400, some assembly required.

If you don't want to put it together yourself, PM for quote depending on how complete you want it.
