$700 rebuilt (includes: heat treated, hone cylinders, mill head, full set of evergreen gaskets, pressure wash engine bay)
$500 labor cost
$150 port polish head (exhuast side only)
$185 cometic head gasket + apr studs and bolts
$115 npr pistons and rings
$200 mishimoto radiator
$150 oem exedy clutch
$20 300zx fuel pump
$60 4 misc. heater hoses
$25 oil and filter
$15 coolant
$12 4 ngk platinum v power spark plugs
$30 resurface flywheel
$15 rack and pinon bushing

I don't have much time to research and do the install myself so I had someone else put the engine together for me. I probably missed a few minor parts. The total came out to be about $2100 for everything. Let me know what you guys think. Is this a fair price or I overpaid. If overpaid, by how much ?

why are you port and polishing the "exhuast side"




Hone/bore - $120
Hot tank- $50
Mill head - $35
Cometic HG- $80
arp headstuds - $100
Exedy oem kit- $90
NPR/rings/pistons and bearings- $115
resurface flywheel- $35
evergreen full gasket kit- $25
Misimoto rad- $200
Heater hoses- $30

~$1100 in parts and rest is labor

Seems "ok"

for all that work i would say ~800 if fair

the intake side is already large enough, but exhuast side seems narrow, so wanted to open it up a bit more. Not sure if it will make extra hp, but couldn't hurt.
