In case you where wondering what it costs to bore/balance these blocks, I just got my block back from the shop 2 weeks ago:
- 99 Taurus Block (60K miles, $585 shipped. I bought this block around 2 years ago)
- Clevite Rod & Main Bearings
- Pauter Rods
- Diamond Racing Pistons (9.0:1)
- All Studs/Bolts for 01+ Windage Tray/Oil Pickup
Services rendered:
- Give the block a "bath"
- Remove the transmission bearing/collar
- Bore the cylinders to accept the pistons
- Fit the pistons/rings/rods/bearings
- Balance rotating assembly
Cost: $980.77
