[QUOTE="RBB, post: 15724863, member: 152686"] I'm a few weeks out from getting a built long block back from JDM and those prices are very comparable. Building these motors is not a cheap endeavor. Some will say that you can get by with a light hone on the aluminum blocks to seat new rings, but I wouldn't chance it. That plasma spray bore liner is so thin to begin with I wouldn't feel good about not sleeving the block....just my opinion. The only thing I see on this list that I would say isn't necessary is the head porting. However, an additional $600 at this stage of the game is trivial, so why not just do it? You could also go with some H beam rods and save another $700 or so. Either way, if you want a stout build that will hold up to the kind of power you want to make, then this is what a good builder is going to charge you for it. [/QUOTE]
