Hey Justin, I did notice that Butler offers a 461-467 short block kit for $3500 which has a complete machined block with everything for the rotating assy, just unassembled.

http://www.jbp-pontiac.com/products/engines_assemblies/short_blocks.htmlJust a thought, but didn't know if you stay with your block or not and don't know if they would do your block for the same price. I don't know if that would really save you any monies or not.
Can you send me a PM on what Butler said they do for the $11,500.00 that they offered?
