[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 3515652, member: 6146"] It's sobering. I have multiple projects going, but it had been about 15 years since I built an engine. I'm a Ford guy, so the last thing I put together was a 302 for an early Bronco. Fast forward those 15 years, and I was setting up to build a 331 for an old Mercury of mine a couple of years ago. MY GOD how prices have risen! Currently about to finish up a 351C for my son's truck, and was bellyaching to my machine shop dude about it. He said he just built a plain Jane, 350 Chevrolet for a customer - the most common engine in history for hot rodding - and it was over $3500. He said everything has hit asinine levels. But it's still so much fun to tinker with. Enjoy the project! [/QUOTE]
