    Does that $150 include notching the bottoms of the cylinders?

    If your gonna install the crank, rods, pistons/rings correctly you need measuring tools like mics, feeler gauges, maybe a bore gauge. Especially with most of the stroker kits using Chinese cranks and rods. You can't just take the parts out of a box and expect them to fit, you have to measure (and usually adjust) everything.

    wow Frank.. those are pretty decent machine shop prices if they include crank polishing and torque plate honing in the numbers.
