I'm looking at a 428CJ service short block, Std. bore, with CJ Crank and Rods and he's asking $1500 for it. Your price for a complete engine is very reasonable.

Nothing wrong with service blocks, they usually have reinforcing ribs on the block that improves strength. Key issue is how much to clean it up. Std. bore probably won't end up that way and lots of work to get to a finished product.

Did you do a compression test and leak down by cylinder? Recommended.
