Will def be nice when done, I have a feeling the "429" name is what's so costly.

The block is extremely rusty so it has to be stripped, then bored, decked, honed and all that. The mains also need work, especially the rear one. The crank needs ground and balanced, and the rebuild kit, rods, pistons, and cam/lifter set were also included in that. And I think the valve job on the heads was too, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
