Donn, Premiere Cylinder called me about 30 minutes ago letting me know Zombieheart is ready for pickup.
Bored all 8 to +.030
Sleeved #3 and bored sleeve to +.030
Polished cam
Polished crank
Pressed in new cam bearings
Total just under 500$
Prices seem to fluxuate a bit from place to place but its pretty close to what Kevin is dealing with. Boring the cylinders and pressing in cam bearings was the bulk of the cost at 300$.
The sleve + pressing it in was just shy of 100$.

I ended up getting the entire truck for 1k,https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ckenstein.html I got it to fire and run this morning... it has minimal blowby, so hopefully it works out for me.

That is a great price, had I found a deal like that I would have gone that route, I got quotes closer to 1400 for just the machine work, and I would have reassembled it.

It may have something to do with where Im located. Im smack dab in the middle of machine shop Mecca. Sadly though.. with as many shops in the area making chips... Premiere is the only (reputable) engine game in town. I figure Butch prices his work as he does to keep it that way.
Kevin... i dont remember if i already asked you...
But are you back in Tx now?

I have a thing for things that are whimsical or humorous. The list contains a play on the words in the titles of a 1963 song by Peter, Paul and Mary and a 1964 Ian Fleming novel about a magical car as well as a slang term for female breasts. No cartoons, though. I couldn't come up with anything for Planes, Trains & Automobiles or Smokey and the Bandit.

Hey now!!! Some of us ( ok, at least me) are quite glad to have you around Kevin! Maybe more Texans should move up here and then it wouldn't be such a bad place to live. I'm sure we could find a nice shop for Chris to set up in and then we'd get done truck engines done up nice between the two of you guys!
