Default Shortblock install

What is the average price for a shop to install a shortblock in our cars?? And does anyone know of a good shop in NJ that will install a shortblock for a decent price??

What are you looking for out of a shortblock. The stock alum block is plenty strong for any street application. It's just the rods and pistons thattap out earlya lot of times. Replacing the rotating assembly(rods, pistons, crank) will be less costly than replacing the entire shortblock. JDM and livernoissell both sell 298 stroker kits for N/A and FI applications.
