Yea, Kirby owns the car on the front of Leo's book. Sissell Automotive is where he is. Your machine shop bill will vary based on where you are located geographically, as the shop rates flucuate based on local economies. Depending on how radical you are planning to go with your engine is going to determine what needs to be done to it. Much of the alterations done in Leo's book to his own engine is not going to be necessary for you to do, unless you do decide to tackle a hybrid head. You should start off with this:
1)Rough deck and final deck the block to achieve near zero deck
2)Bore and hone cylinders with torque plate, head studs might be a good idea also.
3)Align hone block(might just need to be clean up honed)
4)Balance rotating assembly(lightening crank can get expensive, so check pricing before attempting it)
5)Recondition rods w/ARP bolts if using OEM style rods
6)O-ring block if shooting for high boost
7)Naturally, regrind crankshaft, chamfer oil holes and debur
8)Main studs might or might not be needed, but extra insurance never hurts(make sure they are installed prior to align honing)
