If shipping is a problem, getting the block here and back wont work for the 4.100/125. Unless AES or EES is selling the liners now? Last I heard they only do short block assembled. So your looking at sending 4" liners over sea's.

3.75x4.00 = 377ci

Go with Ron Woods HD liners punch it .060 over = 388ci.
Okay, thanks for the info and I'll pass it on. He has been in communication with one of the builders already and they were going to send him a package for $15K to build in Japan. Sounds a little risky but I'm not sure what kind of shops he has access to there. Thanks again.
