The way they explained it, it makes it sound as they are the only shop that does it perfectly and it takes rocket science to do it. They told me not to buy an assembled block because the person probably didn't do it right.

if you buy an oem block guess who assembles it

and swapping out your pistons is actually much easier than you think. if you look in the built motor forum stickies, they show a few project builds and how-to's

although, you will need time, space, and the right tools.
