First get it Magnafluxed and cleaned to ensure it can take an overbore and there are no cracks.

When you get it bored, make sure it is done with a torque plate hone. That will ensure very straight bores. You going to install new cam bearings and freeze plugs too?

Pricing will depend per machine shop. I'd just take a wild guess at maybe $200?

Just give them the bare block. $200-$250 should be the price range.
