final bill after selling old engine is coming out around $1400 with all parts and machine work. had block hot tanked and honed, 3 angle valve job and decked the head, ground crank .10 under, rods massaged and balanced. all interior engine parts new ( pistons, rings, cam, lifters, timing chain & gears) and all accessories are new too ( TB, injectors, ignition kit, water pump etc.) minus the cold air intake and header...

well just installed the bored throttle body i just received from Dan at [-The Fastman-] theFastman.com specializing in Dodge Performance Parts
guy does great work and even does an exchange program for your old "core" TB so the final price comes to about $110 after the exchange.....better than $200 for a new BBK i would say....
i can FEEl the difference now that my intake is fully opened up
