It was around 800-900 IIRC They did: bore, deck, hot tank, balance crank, put in new bearings, and block assembly, they also machined my flywheel for me. I supplied the Wiseco Piston kit which was about another 800 i think ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/s13_gotboost/Builtblock002.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/s13_gotboost/Builtblock002.jpg) ![http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/s13_gotboost/Builtblock003.jpg](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c138/s13_gotboost/Builtblock003.jpg) ---
