This isnt own tech or advanced, or other vehicles. At least I wouldn't categorize it as that. got a 390 I'm rebuilding. Was wondering what prices can I expect from a machine shop to maybe bore it .30 over re surface the cylinders, etc basically. The works on the engine. A port job. Maybe some other stuff. What could I expect for a price?

Last engine I rebuilt was several years ago and iirc about $8 a cylinder for boring.
Your best bet would be to call a local machine shop and ask them.

They'll usually hot tank it, so most of the crud will be gone.
Like I said it's been several years since (20). They'll give you a price
over the phone. I called one about a year ago to get a quote to rebulid
my 305 ------------- $1700. I can buy a new crate 350 for $1400.

Well I had planned I rebuilding it mostly by my self just wanted them to clean it up real good, and is do mostly everything else. I found a rebuild kit for under 500 with everything for the shortblock. Just need everything up top. Besides gaskets.
