I can't recall what it cost to have it magnafluxed and to bore it out, but it wasn't more then a couple hundred bucks. So I spent maybe $300 to $400, for a block ready for a rotating assembly.

Just some more food for thought.
I've never seen you race before, but you've just gained one more fan for the engine in your car. I think it's absolutely awesome what you're doing with a dream of racing sprint cars. Gives me the hope that maybe in the next 30 years I'll be able to afford one of my own.

Good luck in 2008
