the complete shortblock with forged pistons from
www.bluechipmotors.com is only $600.00 shipped to your door, theres no way your buddy is gonna do it that cheap, if your gonna do the motor you should get aftermarket pistons from speed pro and they should cost around $300,they have bigger valve reliefs for larger cams, if i were you and wanted to do this as cheap as possible call bluechipmotors and tell them what year your car is and theyll tell you how much it cost and you can send them any parts you want, pistons, cam heads etc etc. i gurantee your local guy cant even come close to this price, this isnt used parts this is all new parts and a .030 over bore are you putting a cam in the new motor?
