Haven't got the bill yet... but am bracing myself. They should be cheaper for the next guy now that the design exists.
I had to send them the cylinder head and then wait a really long time.

Thanks for the tip on Total Seal rings.
This is only the second engine I've assembled so I'll approach these rings with caution and dig up some instructions.

Out of curiosity before hand I CCed an early and late style 848 head and it looks like CR was only ~6.8 to 7.1 with the original flat top pistons. Apparently Chevy's marketing department really inflated these numbers... up above 8 if i recall.
