what engine? and have you been qouted?
basic one that id do inc:
sump gasket set
head set
head bolts
big ends
main bearings
water pump
oil pump(or stock one rebuilt as castings are better)
cambelt kit.
block wise - re-honed IF within tolerance otherwise add about £600 or so for boring and new pistons also if cranks worn a grind fromm lad i use is £90
head - new guides/seats cut, new stem seals, light skim and obv rebuilt. original GM valves are better quality than the aftermarket stock valves(dont mean the single peice QED, paul ivey etc ones)
ive just priced up all parts to do an XE for a lad.
if want u2u me, i can copy it over, give you an idea. where abouts are you from?
