That's about the going rate.
I paid $400 for my 454 to be done, but it was torque plate honed and I had one sleeve put in too.

make sure they tell you how much they took off the crank so you can get the proper bearings

i was lucky to redue the shops signs and bartered for them to; bore,
cam bearings, freeze plugs, deck surface, and installed a 4 bolt splayed
mains for my bbc, balanced crank, and all came out great. :wink:
the machine shop i went to is right in the middle of a corn field,
the owner has raced everything and now is into racingboats and
builds bb blown motors for flying across the water :shock:
