Like I said I will just go through what I have and make them right, was just poking around, comparing dollar for dollar...

New shortblock, medium parts, I get 7k pretty quick. Compstar rods/crank -$1600. Dart block $2500. Je pistons $800. That's $4900 and you have no fasteners or machine time.

Then again, you may get better than retail pricing.

I was finding dart block, scat rotating assembly, forged crank and pistons assembled 5500.... that's what got me thinking..

$4000 off ebay if you assemble. Thats tough to beat and looks like good parts unless you really plan on twisting it up.

I wouldn't buy off ebay and assemble, I would redo mine then I know machining is how I want it...

We'll crap!

Where the heck were you at a while back. I let a pair freshly machined (correctly) with new cranks, bearings and some extra stuff go for <$7000.
Gotta get better at that selling used stuff.

I tell you what that's some tempting prices, I can buy 2, sell off my good shortblock in parts and my other block get some cash back... them 582's are tempting...

Call Dave Wesseldyke at Wesco. He is north of you and will point you in the right direction...
