wtf does post count have to do with anything? i was just trying to make sure my local shop wasnt trying to add anything "extra" in

When people with 12,000 posts ask questions like that it just seems a little fishy. No disrespect intended by any means. I just don't understand how you can have so many posts and not know the basics of engine building. But then again I guess you really can polish a terd.

i never claimed to be a master mechanic. i asked more or less to make sure i wasnt getting ripped off. i like to make sure my money can get me as far as it can. it 700 bucks without any bearings or anything is right for just machining the block is right then i'll delete my own thread.

I think you should call around and see what other shops charge. Once you have done that pick your poison.
