machining work

i'm thinking about rebuilding my 351w and i'm just trying to get an idea about how much it would cost to take the block in and have it punched out .030?
i know prices are gonna very with different shops, but i'm trying to just get a ball park figure. also, how much if i need the crank turned? any help would be appreciated.

I just got a 351W done last week. Here is what they charge around here.

Bore the block $80.00
Hot tank the block $35.00
Install Cam bearings $20.00
Turn the crank $75.00
Press the new pistons on rods $3.00 each

I had a 289 and had the same things done and paid about $10 more each compared to those prices.

Wow, my bill was a wee bit more:

Valve Grind & Assemble: 100
Mill Head: 50
Valve Ream & Seat: 16
R & R Pistons: 40
Crank Polish: 25
Cylinders (.030): 124
Block Clean: 75
Rods Recon: 88
Bunch of Parts Cleaned: 40
Mill Deck: 65

Parts and labor I was out with a great set for $1000. Since then, I have spent a bunch more on building a beautiful powertrain.
