If it helps at all, all the machine work on my block other than a quick pass on the deck surfaces was done at Napa. That included cleaning the block, bore and hone, line bore and new cam bearings installed. If I can remember right, it was around $800 about 6 years ago. I do know one of the long time employees at the location; I think they ran my work through one of their larger accounts which probably nocked $100-$200 off my bill.

A friend I know put the motor together and before we even took the block into his shop, he put it in his truck, took it to another local machine shop he deals with and had a quick pass made on the deck surfaces just to ensure the best seal possible. I think that was another $100 give or take.
