If you have standard size pistons then maybe a brand new block would be best. $1000-$1500.<br /><br />Then you need to pull your engine, which cost around $500-$1000. Have your heads gone through: pressure checked, milled, valves ground (maybe) $300-$400. Gaskets $200. install the heads and everything else, around $500-$800. Then put motor back in $500-$1000.<br /><br />In my experience it is better to have something built locally. If you buy a mail order block and if something is wrong then you have to pay to ship it back. PITA!!!<br /><br />It could also cost more if you go to the wrong shop. My uncle had all the parts for his 98', except a new block, and he spent $20,000 at RPM in Santa Rosa to have it installed.<br /><br />So basically, $2300-$3900.....Best of luck <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
