Message	not cheap to return ship a block from Canuckistan. When I first got the block done I got an awesome transport deal from a trucker friend of mine who basically hauled the block to Texas on a regular run of his. Unfortunately, he doesn't do that run anymore. I knew the builder up here and Kyle shipped me bearings and a replacement rod at cost. Had another crank from a different block, the machine shop balanced it to my existing block along with my flywheel and crank pulley. Did the head assembly & install, got everything back together in the winter of 2012. Dyno tuned it in 2012 and again in 2013 after adding 2.5" intake piping, no issues yet.
