Looks like a lotta cash for what you have listed.

That is alot of cash for those motors, I would think they would be worth about 12k a piece wih the pro chargers tops. And what exactley is a stock connecting rod with H beams ? unless you meant stock legnth H Beam rods, that would make sense.

GOODT

sounds very high for the work and parts mentioned !!!!!! I hope that theres more to it for 25000 each even with r&r 15 k maybe

First Yes Hillybilly Your Right It Was Stock Length H Beam Rods
Second There Was Other Work Included But I Still Think It Was Very High. The Actual Motor Building, Parts, Prochargers And Assembly 36000.00 For 2 (i Know The He Charged Me 5700.00 Ea Just To Buy Procharger Set Ups)
50000.00 Included All The Above Plus Parts And Labor
Removing Motors From Boat W/ My Help
Installing Motors In Boat
All New Raw Water Plumbing To Motors Because We Had To Move Fresh Water Coolers, Oil Cooler, Transmission Cooler, To Side Walls To Make Room For Procharger Set Up.
All New Fresh Water Lines To Motors
All New Fuel Lines
New Fuel / Water Separators
New Raw Water Pumps
All New Belts
Boost Gages And Installation
Fuel Pressure Gages And Installation
New High Volume Oil Coolers
All New Fluids
Reworking Carbs, (still Not Right)
I Still Think It Was Ridiculous But Its Done
But Back To The Original Thread Do The Spec.s Look Good Or Do They Look Like Something I Could Have Bought Off The Shelf For 5500 Each Plus The Price Of A Procharger Set Up

You could get much more power for much less installed from other sources. Do your homework and comparison shop, 50k is a lot for what you've mentioned.

Donman

I just did a quick math job in my head. You can duplicate or even improve upon what you got for about $10K each, plus say $5000 for the labor and other things.
I say it`s way too high !
Did he at least kiss you afterwards ?

That almost looks like the same spec's of the 454HO GM crate motor. They are using GM steel crank and JE piston but with 9:1 Compression in the 502 I am sure it is the same in the 454. The long blocks run about 4500 EA from GM!!??

$50,000 seems like an aweful lot of money for what you have there. Here's a labor/pricing sheet of a local, very reputable machine shop in my area that has been in business for about 20 years or so. This price sheet lists cost of all the machining operations in detail. All labor is based on a $60 per hour labor rate and they have "state of the art" equipment.

They do a lot of edurance engines, and they know what it takes to properly machine an engine destined for the hi-perf offshore marine environment---without any hype. Compare it to what you have paid for, the parts you have, and then ask yourself if you think you may have paid too much.

I will post the labor sheet in two segments in hopes that it is legible. Just click on either one and it will enlarge it for you.
