********. Car enthusiasts and machine shops build engines all the damn time. Dealers don't. Dealerships know f@*k-all about cars except how to screw people out of their money.

My Jeep has a +0.030 bore, 0.020 oversized main and rod bearings, 9.5:1 forged pistons, comp cam, fully machined head with oversized valves and polished runners, etc etc...

I say you should drive your secondary vehicle in the meantime (hopefully you have one), do some reading, save up a few bucks, then buy a block and build the motor you REALLY want, not some junkyard hand-me-down with who-knows-what wrong with it.
