Re: The 283 Rebuild Begins

Yeah - it really adds up when you insist on doing it right:

Engine Rebuild: (including scrapping the first block out) $1,700
Motor Towers & mounts: $235
New H/D Radiator and shroud: $525
Hoses, clamps, fan, water pump: $150
Trans rebuild, B&M T/C & shift kit, linkage, deep pan: $900
Front coil springs: $140
HEI distributor: $100
Carburator rebuild & linkage: $135
Exhaust manifold repair: $100
Complete exhaust system: $540
Ginnie Shifter: $275
Gas tank neck repair assembly: $85
Steering column repair kits: $150

and so on ……and so on…and so on.......

But because I've had the Chevelle as my daily driver - I wanted to do this right the first time. At least that's the theory.
