Default Machine Shop Called

$1069.66

Is it true you can sell ********* for a load of cash in California?
They did a lot of work though:
Hone
Deck
Align Hone
Hot Tank
Cam Bearings
Resize Rods
Grind valve seats (2.19/1.88)
3-angle valve job
Machine valve guides for PC seals
Balance rotating assembly

That seems reasonable. My bill came to $700 for:

* Bore My 454 +.060"
* Hone The Cylinder Walls
* Magnaflux The Block, Heads & Crank
* Hot Tank The Block, Heads & Crank
* Check The Crank For Straightness
* Polish The Crank Journals
* Check The Surface Area Of Block & Heads
* Install New Cam Bearings & Freeze Plugs
* Resurface Flywheel
* Balance My Rotating Assembly

Why did you have your crank turned down? As long as it's quality work I don't mind them making a few extra bucks on me.

P.S. Keep the ********(s) you may need it/them down the road

:D

Hey Bud,Speaking of retarded,I just got back with the new Vette.Stopping every 125 miles for Friggin gas!Not a chance for the old butt to get sore doing that!

I got your mail.Yeah,those cam boxes are kinda cool.Those guys were grinding cams for Big Daddy way back!
I have been on the look out for a manifold and carb for you.You might have to bite the bullet and buy new.Carbs just keep getting more expensive.I guess just keep watching ebay till last minute although a annual local swap meet is coming up in March.Might find what you need there.

Are the heads coming soon?

PS.Don't sell those body parts.You will need them at the top of 4th gear!
