:This would be all the necessary work for the block and heads. Matt I am hooking you up on the machine work. I usually charge 5grand for this work I'm giving it to you for 3500.
:And this would be the parts that is needed to make this happen. No bullshit....

:which includes: wiseco forged pistons, eagle forged performance rods, complete nissan gasket kit w/cometic metal head gaskets, new nissan oil pump, new nissan water pump,niew nissan timing belt, new nissan rod and main bearings.
:Jwt 500 race cams and Heavy Duty springs.
:Ferrea oversize valves

:arp head & main bolt.
:Matt this should complete the engine build. Mind you this is your price only... 10,045"
:This is labor and everything for install, grand total. what do you guys think, good price? Good build?

The engine in the "quote" above would be like my Stage 5 Long Block for $6500:

IPP Stage 5 Long Block

Then if you added the parts that are listed that are not included in my Stage 5 Long Block package:

300 degree 740 cc kit with fuel line
complete nissan gasket kit
new nissan water pump,
niew nissan timing belt,
egr block plate
arp head & main bolt.

The above parts would add another $1850-$1900 making the total so far $8350-$8400 + core + shipping

So above that I am not sure what else is being performed to the motor and what exact "labor" is involved but it looks a little high from what is listed so far.

Just as an example..$5000 for the machine work is stupid. I do the exact same thing for ~$3250 all day long. So $3500 is not really a "hook up" IMHO.
