Not to jump on the defense, but I got most parts at cost because of connections I have at shops in Baltimore. I think the prices are well below average for brand new parts. Now granted, you can get these parts cheaper from idiots that pay for them new, than realize that it takes about $6k more to build everything else. As for the labor, I dont know what the going rate is. But I guess you're saying that Abacus overcharged me? Like I said, first time I've ever got a block sleeved and built.

As to keeping it, I would if I had all of the required parts to go along with it. Hopefully someone is looking buy this stuff. I'm not asking for what I paid. I am putting the prices out there for peoples knowledge on how much this type of stuff goes for. Though the people that go all out like this, probably know anyhow.
