Ron,
the subject has been covered here (above) and on the Cleveland forum. The block will be delivered to you requiring the same amount of finish machining as would a block from Ford Racing, Dart or World Products. The block is not ready for assembly, because an engine shop would not want it that way. Engine builders prefer to perform their own final machine work.
You may want to review the posts above, or on the Cleveland forum. Beyond that, I'd recommend you contact Tod directly at his email address:
tlb427@sbcglobal.net
Tod is out of town this weekend, so if you email him, he will not respond immediately.
