Recent block I had done for a friend not necessarily done in order listed.

Block was Baked and tumble .
Squared
Mag
Sonic tested. Thinest spot .180
Pressure tested
Lifter bore brace installed
New Cam bearings installed
Bored .030 over
New freeze plugs
Oil galley front plugs taped for threaded plugs installed
Line bore checked.
Rear oil Galley rear plug oil drilled for Distributor oiling.
Oil restricters installed.
Thank god it didn’t need steel caps and a line bore
Total cost $2700.00 including $300.00 cost for block. I can see why buyer past on 73 block.

For me if your not interested and doing all this, I’m not interested. Can you imagine doing all this but never having block pressure tested. Your talking 50 year old blocks and who knows their history.
