IIRC it's about $110-120 for a bore package from Pacific Engine.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

All of those pieces fell out as soon as I pushed the piston out. Im going to look closer at the cylinder walls, I might just bore it out anyways. I have to have the wrist pins pressed out and in the new piston anyways, might as well have them pressed into the new ones.

Yeah its cheap, like $3 a piston to have them hung.

I'd see what they can hook you up with as far as the whole shortblock.

Could you please? This motor was a bitch to pull out and I really don't want to do it again unless I absolutely have to. I would like to just have them do the bottom end, the heads look just fine actually.

Did you buy new rods yet? If not might be time to just ante up and get some. Even if it means it sits for a bit more.

Do you have to use a special pulley puller for the A/C compressor? I want to clean up and paint the huge bracket it sits on but the pulley is in the way of the bolts. I did the water pump and p/s bracket already.

You can use a 3 prong puller but go VERY slow so you dont damage the magnet.
