What should I buget $$ if I do the rebuild on the subject engine. Figure I have the core in my shop. Looking at rings, pistons, bearings, head turned down, new head gaskets the works.

If I have not done it before how much time you figure to rebuild, not including mounting into car.

Any thoughts please

I spent about $1500 That included new over size pistons, liners, oil pump, bearings etc..I borrowed the tool and did the valves myself, which saved some $. but that also included a lot of things that normally wouldn't be included, new alt, radiator, all clutch parts. It was a fairly easy and fun job, as I hadn't done anything like that since high school.
