Generally speaking how long does it take an "better than average" machine shop to complete the assembly of a new engine comprised off "all brand new, in the factory box parts"
I know this is kinda like asking is it colder in the winter or in the north. I bought a new Ford 302 Sportsman block and a 347 Stroker kit from Ford Racing. The machinist was required to bore the new block .030, notch the lower part of the block for rod clearance, and port the heads. Then assemble the complete package for me to truck away. Assuming there was not a higher than usual backlog. Two certified machinists and a helper working. All part were taken to the machine shop at one time.
