Everything except piston pins and a few bolts, I added the new clutch kit and a few other things as well.

I have been thinking, the cranks are already hardened aren't they? Are you having that done also? Are you having the cam and rod bearings done as well? If so won't that make the cam bearings brittle? I am picturing them breaking when installing.

All the metal in your engine is hardened.
This realigns the crystalline structure. That makes it harder yet less brittle. Improves wear. Transfers heat more evenly.
Depending what the metal makeup is, different temps and times can do better. The last stuff I was involved with had 2 pallets go. 90% was done together, but the axle gears, transfer case gears, hub gears all got done separately.

One simply has to run Frozen Rotors to visually begin to see the benefits.

So since good used 6.5 blocks are getting harder to find and the Chinese new blocks are out there, wouldn't it be better to get a Chinese block and machine it how you need it and then have it hardened?
Yes
As it stands now the cost i was quoted may not stand, i know the several times we spoke the type of motor was discussed, but now they claim a much higher cost for "diesel" motors. Mine will still ship out Monday, i will let them decide if it's more, i told them it was not much more than a BB motor and the word diesel shouldn't matter if they go by weight. We will see.

Perhaps give Frozen Rotors AKA Diversified Cyrogenics a call and get a comparison quote before you ship. I use them for my rotors and am happy and they do engines etc.

Competition and other options can be a good thing sometimes.
