Estimate on engine wasn't close!
Steve: Sounds like 1200 bucks difference? Did the extra
parts require additional labor? nothing is free is this world. It's a little
late but you should have asked for additional cost before you ordered
additional parts. As a building contractor I was always bit in the butt by
additional work until I started using additional work orders. Hate to
say it but I doubt if your machinist is trying to gouge you, but if I had been
him I wouldn't have proceeded until I got an AWO authorization. My 454 rebuilt
without the aluminum heads was over 4300 bucks.
