Well guys i just dropped the block and my new 40 over pistons at Scroggins. They are gonna bore and hone, hot tank , deck the block and check for cracks, assemble the block for about $400 is it too much? I still have to call them tomorrow about replacing the freeze plugs.
$150 to bore and hone block
$75 to hot tank and check for cracks
$75 deck the block
and $100 to assemble the block

Thats a more than fair price. If you are going metal head gasket dont forget to have them machine accordingly.

Ill let them know tomorrow, i dropped the block, rods , pistons old and new ones with the new rings pins and clips. I also took the front plate and the belt tensioner and its bolt so it can be honed and decked the right way. What happened is that when i was bolting on my new intercooler and little pieces of metal went into my 4th and 6th cylinder and messed the walls up. Everything else was rebuilt in december last year, new oil pump,water pump , crank was cut 10/10 with new ACL bearings and thrust washers, all new gaskets and all new seals. The head was rebuilt with new viton valve stems and the head was left mirror finish for my cometic MHG and arp studs. I just hope everything turns out ok with this shop. This is my one and only vehicle and i need to get it running by this weekend.
