Re: C2 300hp Rebuild...estimates parts&labor

Any labor/machining estimate is dependant on local costs and vary greatly from one location to another.

Parts cost depend on vendor and brand name.

My estimate to do a 327 would probably be a lot different, example:
local cost to vat, bore and hone is about $200.

turn crank $150

balance $100

These are costs at a high quality machine shop.
