Hey, All. I'm in Annapolis, MD. My budget for a long block is $1,500. I know of a few cores right here in my town, but I wasn't interested in rebuilding. Now I may be interested in rebuilding if I can do it for under $1,500. That $1,500 would have to include pistons, rings, cam, cam bearings, crank bearing, rod bearings, etc. I would want the block bored, and necessary work done to crank and rod journals and all that stuff.

Anyonw know of steps that can be ommitted in a B20 rebuild that may save money?
I thought the bottom end of these things are super tough (meaning maybe I wouldn't have to do anything to the bottom end except replace the bearings)

I had several grand put aside for a top shelf performance rebuild (Phil S.), but my finances took a big turn and now I'm down to much less.

I'll buy a nice used B20 longblock or do a cheap rebuild.

Any more thoughts?
