For those curious. My bill for my short block.

I see nothing wrong with what you paid. Keep in mind, "good machine work isn't cheap and cheap machine work isn't good". My advice to anyone is shop around for whatever you need done and make sure it is done "in house". Shops that farm work out can get costly very quickly. Ask locals who they recommend, especially any Mopar friends. I discovered a small shop not far from me who is much more reasonable than the two big shops close to me.
