So I’ve decided to rebuild my engine, for no other reason then piece of mind. Got a ‘87 cobalt with a 454 and alpha1. She’s a mature lady but she runs well. I pulled the engine and tore it all down, no signs of hot spots, cracks or anything like that. So things look good.
The plan is to have everything hot tanked, inspected and cleaned up. New rings, main, rod and cam bearings, valve job etc. Just want to freshen her up.
Ideally I’d like to find a shop to build me up a long block and I’ll just take care of the top end at home.
anyone have any ballpark figure on what that might run me?
