You can re-ring, bearing, seal, buy gasket kits and timing chains, yank the motors, reinstall, buy all new hoses cause you F'd them all up taking it apart and its not worth not changing them while your in there, etc for $1200.00 thats a STEAL!
BTW next time I have an IO boat Im gonna bring it to you and have BOTH my BBC 's redone for $1200.00 since you made it so clear thats all it costs
In fact I think you should extend that invitation to everyone on the board!

I know its early but is anyone goin to Block this weekend? I'm heading over saturday night i think. I usually anchor in Old Harbor but I have a feeling space will be really tight in there by saturday. Will probably try out the salt pond this time, but that makes getting to shore interesting (especially with girls).

And thats with FORGED PISTONS! I know theres some other expenses involved, but thats 2 complete engine rebuild kits. Labor? Hahaha. Anyone can rebuild a Chevy. Do it yourself! Rebuild a 300X outboard yourself??? No friggen way. Thats whats so nice about BBC's and why we all run them. Please list the price for a 300X piston.....I dare you.

Great, thanks. Maybe we'll just go for the day. I know it's going to be a $hitshow over there which is a double-edged sword. Will be a really good time and a pain in the ass at the same time

Yeah outboards are cheap until you need so many to make the power of 1 big block. There is over $5k of props here.
