As you can see, this rebuild/restoration of an antique Pontiac performance engine easily eclipsed the 10 thousand dollar mark.
That's a very thorough description, great info.

Here's where I tend to think the OP can get by for much less.

That's outright, $5700. From the sound of the original post, the OP may have a complete 400 with block, crank, rods, heads, timing cover, oil filter adapter, oil pan, etc. Depending on what the OP finds when his engine is disassembled and what parts he can and/or wants to reuse, it seems like he could get by for less than the $5700 that Len Williams wants for a complete long block with all those items included?
