Do you happen to have the numbers on a caddy? The 454 I'm looking at is 425 hp/ 500 ft lbs

Machining costs around me are rediculous. I had three different shops write up quotes on rebuilding/boring my 350 into a 383 that all ended up at $4500 for the longblock. (budget pricing not forged internals)

Say I did go for the caddy, is it somewhat specialized or should any shop be able to tackle it?

Thanks for the help
