Default Help me with estimating cost to build GSR motor

Suppose I can take off my block by myself and have someone build my motor:
- Resleeve
- change to low comp piston
- upgrade connecting rods
- ARP headstud + headgasket

I know there are quite a few options for the sleeve, piston, and rods, but help me to estimate approximate cost of parts and labor.

yeah then you have new bearings, oil pump, water pump, prolly want a fresh bore/hone, someone to piece it together and if you arn't going to take it out of your car that'll cost you too.

I would forget sleeving unless you want more then 500-550whp....we see a lot of well tuned cars do that without sleeving now a days

I'm guessing $1100 is the labor cost?

If I do not resleeve the block, how much cheaper is it (cheaper labor also?) ?

You should check out earl's post and see what all he normally includes in the block buildup package. His price is $3075 for a built and sleeved block, +$375 if you want Pauter rods or +$275 for Manley rods (I think). Other places like exospeed, Golden Eagle have block packages a hundred or two hundred bucks cheaper, but I've heard nothing but good things about his work and Benson sleves, so I went with them. IIRC it will be approximately $1000 less if you dont get the sleeves. You should contact earl if you want more info.
