Need engine built for 03-04 cobra

Dont feel like spending $16xx.00 in just labor. The shortblock i gave them ended up having 2 spun rod bearings which also burned up the rods (dont know why i didnt notice that before i purchased this thing) and a spun main. Looks like i will be calling mmr soon if i cant spend under $3000 to get this shortblock back together.
Is $1600 normal for just labor to regrind a crank, install 8 new rods on the current stock pistons, balance the engine and put the shortblock back together with heads, covers, etc.??
If its just labor thats high.
If the new rods are figured into that price it sounds right.
there not...
I figure $16xx.00 labor + $500 rods + $200 for bearings = $2300.
MMR's stroker 1000se 4.75 liter costs $2799 plus shipping.
I think the mmr stroker makes more sense to me....
Just to be clear, im not bashing AES. I paid the $150 for their time and took the parts back after the quote. I am not upset at all.
That's right in line with what our pricing is for the same work.
Off the top of my head we are at $$232 for grinding the crank and $915 to assemble longblock. if you want a second opinion call Randy at PER the shop number is 815-254-2333
no, i was just so disgusted with this shortblock that i took everything and left.
updating this thread, took all my parts to paul knippen and im having him install this eagle stroker kit part#14424. also having him also install some 97 cobra intake cams. enjoy the pics for now. hopefully will have this thing put together in the next month and on the road before the first snow fall lol.
with the enormous dent this thing put in my wallet this year i might as well lol. it will be stored in winter
update is my engine should be done sometime this week from paul knippen. on the outside the engine shouldnt look any different then a regular 4v. i wouldnt recommend anybody but him. from quality to price its unreal how great he is.
They have a good reputation so i dont doubt it. all the guys seemed very nice when i met them.
Is that your car in drews garage hes working on?? sucks what happened bro
