I am located in the Bowling Green KY area. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Call Jim Blair he has a 396 /375 for sale about half the price of a new one. 1 6056853046

Really... It's the parts that are expensive. The labor is cheap!!! I guess he has a complete machine shop in his basement!!

I'm not quite understanding just what it is that you're trying to say here. The "labor" is what it is. When somebody has hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in shop equipment then that person is entitled to charge what he has to charge to pay for it AND make a living.
The "parts" are what they are. If somebody wants to build a high-dollar combo using all after-market parts then it can get expensive. There ARE combos out there that can be built with inexpensive parts.
Where the major expense comes in is when the customer is unable or unwilling to do the time consuming "labor" himself. AND if the customer has no knowledge of what it takes to make his combo competitive. Knowledge is the expensive part! It is (and should be) VERY expensive to buy knowledge.

Armstrong Machine, talk to John. 902-765-4878. and your money is worth about 35% more than ours so you can afford to build a good one right off the bat.
