im getting a 94 b18b with tranny for free. they have 220K on them. but i went into a local shop in boise and a guy that worked there quoted me "Right around 2 grand for parts, that includes forged pistons, rods, rings and bearings." that seems a little steep to me. and another grand to put it all together. and still another 5-6hundred in machine work. thats what they quoted me, does this seem right at all, this is the only shop around here. and if you go to a v-8 shop, they hate on imports and charge about the same. so am i getting jerked around?

 

Honestly that seems excedingly overpriced, but before i start going off on what you want to do and what you should do. What type of internals do you want to do? aftermaket or stock?

 

with those prices im hoping its aftermarket, and i have many brands in mind you can use.

 

those prices were for srp pistons, eagle rods, eagle bearings and total seal rings. 2 grand to just get the parts to their shop, thats it. im looking for a 9.5/1 cr, that will withstand right around 10-12 psi of boost. ive always read and ben told that oem bearings were good. is someone knows a site, or someone i can get these parts from let me know. im wanting to use cp pistons, eagle rods, not sure about rings and oem bearings.
