Typed this up for a friend who was curious, so here are a few *estimates*
Here are some *rough* numbers on the rebuild:
Machine work on magnesium case: $2,000.00
~ time-certs, machine cylinder mounting surface, spot face through bolts, oil bypass modification, check align bore, recondition connecting rods, clean & polish crankshaft, dowel pin center mains.
This would've been more expensive if we would've had to do more machining on the cylinders. I'm able to reuse all my Ps & Cs except one cylinder that was damaged, most likely from excessive head-slap from the case studs pulling. I was also given a replacement cylinder from a friend of my machinist. I also did all of the breakdown myself and will be doing the rebuilding myself ~ I was recommended a local hobby-ist who could give an extra hand during the more rigorous case-sealing and cam timing.
Parts for the rebuild: $6,000.00 ~ pretty much everything you can think of including all hardware, gaskets, nuts/bolts, late-style oil pump, turbo valve covers, updated idler arms, etc. etc.
Distributor re-bush/re-curve: $500.00, Cam regrinds: $400.00
I'll end up having the transmission gone through while swapping the motors, so that will be an additional chunk of change.
