Don't believe me, go to the scammers section, on this sight and take a peak.
I agree and luckily have already read the threads on certain Nevada shops. The pricing I was talking about was just for parts. I have a reputable shop local here that will take the parts and do what you were talking me through. I have been burned in the past and consider myself "wiser" now. My point was that the aftermarket blocks don't seem so bad as an alternative price wise to a 40 year old GM unit that had such wide variences to start with, then overboring and hoping the walls are thick enough if there wasn't core shift, and then being limited to bore size. The rotating assemblies cost roughly the same if your talking 496 to 598 so why not go big :twisted: Right? :twisted:
