Finally got her a new Jeep Grand Cherokee up north of Dallas…drove it back Saturday night (crappy pic by the salesman):[ATTACH=full]487254[/ATTACH]The block’s ready to go, just waiting for my wife to get home and/or my son to come over to help me load it up…local UPS shop will take up to 150#, so this should be gtg.  Shipping on 108# ain’t gonna be cheap though, LoL.[ATTACH=full]487253[/ATTACH]Here’s the basics of what I’m having done for ~$4K plus any required machining to correct issues.700Hp Rated Shortblock -Incoming inspection (visual inspection, check mainline, check cylinders, check threads)-Diamond Hone w/Plateau finish-Deck (PCD)-Jetwash-Set ring gap-Set bearing clearance-Check crank straightness-Crank micropolish-Full set of bearings-Balancing Crank, Rods, Pistons (adding weight is additional if needed)-Traum Forged 10:1cr Pistons-Eagle Forged Hbeam Rods w/ARP2000 bolts-Assemble crank, rods, pistons into blockI was gonna upgrade to those Boostline rods [USER=6864]@full-race geoff[/USER]  showed in his thread, but overkill for my needs …gonna stick w/the Eagle rods for this one.Edit: $273 to ship the block to NH insured for $500 with windage tray, mains, and rear seal plate installed; UPS scale said 106#.
