just got the quote from the machine shop new studs and bearings on the axles $355. top seal rings and diamond pistons $800 all machine work and balancing of rotating assembly $775.
that all sound about right 200 for the rings 600 for the pistons sounds right. but 355 on the axles sounds alot to me.

but the block is in perfect shape but for some reason the guy that built it didnt use forged pistons???! and also cuz the 2 bolt mains he was a good guy we drove 8hrs to get it and wen he showed up we talked for 2hrs about cars. he builds 3 motors a month for fun though

yea ive always wanted to go with the trickflow and AI had told me the 200cc arent wat they would use but this build started as a minor rebuild. then went to a build to handle the nitrous then to the 9.80s goal and it seems lik its taking another turn.
