I was shying away from boring the cylinders because I was under the impression that a 2,8 or 2,9 would be much more expensive to build for some reason. If it isn't, maybe I should look into increasing the displacement, wont that help with low end torque after all? Better for a street car.
I have Ollies price list, but not sure what the total cost will be to ship, and do the case. I'm ballparking 3k. is that realistic?

I should be receiving my case back from Ollie's within the week. You are spot on with that price. Virtually $2900 shipped for all the goods. If I can remember, I will post pics of the work he performed on my 7R case.
I was VERY leary of using the mag case as you will read- there are seemingly infinite opinions recommending the later generation with alum case. I called Ollie's to quiz them a bit as I plan to track, spirit drive often and perhaps even roll it west to CO to visit fam etc. He assured me that provided the case is done correctly with Shuffle pins and case savers, oil mods etc (down the list as you have seen as well), that I would have to beat it to death before I need to stArt to worry. I spoke to Ron most often, guy is clearly knowledgeable and well worth an ear.
