I had my 1600 rebuilt into a stroker for $480 dollars. I think I got a
decent deal. That price included (as best I can remember) valve job,
replacement valve, turned crank, new bearings, flywheel lightening (mild)
and resurfacing, new bolts ect, cleaning, cylendar honing, and decking the
head and block. I know he used a lot of parts from the H20 though I'm not
sure what. He told me a guy was restoring a rolls royce and needed new
pistons at $200 a pop. He did some research and found he could find the
same pistons ina british tractor for $25. He is a very talented and bright
machinist.
