Really depends on the quality of the machine shop.


I picked a more expensive place to do my work, as they are very reputable within the local area. But I haven't paid my bill yet, so I can't give you exacts just yet. I should know more Monday.

The pistons will be the expensive part!!

depends onwhat the initial bore is on the block. you woould hav to measure it and measure the pistons and make sure the minimum clearances are met. if not, then you'll need to finish hone the block to fit the pistons.
