[QUOTE="Mulholland Man, post: 16502133, member: 191905"] Bimini, even if I went with JDM components I'd be at 12.5k for the block (non sleeved). Its only 3k for the sleeving and that's cheap insurance if you ask me. If I just went completely stock block with no built internals- like for like- its 10k new more or less- rip off. After what happened to me, I simply can't afford to have it happen again. The sleeves and I beam rods are a must for me. I drive the car about 8.5 to 10k per year as its my daily. Nearest E85 is 7 miles from here so its a possibility and I'm considering it. ALso considering 91 Octane Tune with 1/4 bottle Boostane Professional per tank for knock insurance. Smog/CARB is the big issue here. That said, If I have KB Blower and CAI its got Carb EO# and therefore I would only have to change tune when going in for smog (unless KB has a CA legal tune - Supersnake Tune?) Below is my placeholder estimate. I have not yet received a formal estimate from a builder here locally in CA. I am guessing on shipping costs but the other costs should be more or less accurrate. THink I may have overstated the cost to reinstall engine. Let me know if I'm Missing anything. FYI, I already have a KB Dual Boostapump. Figure I'm missing a few things, esp. If I convert to E85.
