All right, if you must know I will have spent just under nine grand for 
all of the above, including the purchase and shipping of core components 
from across the country. Current status is that all block related 
machine work is done and I am now waiting on head work to be finished 
up. Once heads are done I will need to aquire the last 2200 worth of the 
parts on the list to finish up - so get ready MC cuz most of those 
remaining parts will be coming from you!
