I am not a motor man, so don't laugh at this. What comes with a short block price. Not sure what more I have to add to price. $2400 for short block which includes brand new block and all inners. How much can be taken off my old motor and how much new items do I need to buy.

How much can be taken off my old motor and how much new items do I need to buy.Sky is the limit. I would say atleast another $2000 if you do not have heads, oil pan, water pump, carb.

Confused?

Rule of thumb is a short block is the rotating assembly and the block. Some have the cams, some don't. You will need everything else including the oil pump.
