    well price is ok but you would be better to buy a short block were all your parts are machine to fit the block .if its not as good as they say your playing the game of sending it back or more machine work .were a 4.030 bore could be more or less then you want and i have seen this alot i bore blocks every week were from make to make of pistons they can be off 001 or more in one set of pistons .so if you have no way to check all this stuff .it can be hard with out all the tools.were a short block would help with this alot of the hard work is done. were alot of guys screw up is think they buy a block and crank kit after checking some of the name brand kits there not as good as they could be for balancing or the bearing size are not good.. and not check any thing just put it together now this may work some times it may not. were a engine builder that has a machine shop to fit the parts where they need and machine the block were it needs to be as well as put the bearings size were it should be helps.this i do and can ship you just a block done or short block as well .i have a transporter to ship engines that leave my shop. P.M me if you want a hi quality machined block or short block
