383 Machine Work?
For an Eagle rotating assembly... 3.75" stroke, 6" Rods, and -5cc SRP Pistons...
How much fabricating has to be done to either the block or crank to make it turn smoothly and work correctly? Yea I know bore/hone/align bore/etc...
I mean how much shaving and mallory must be used to make the crank turn smoothly? To keep from hitting the oil pan rails

It's the oil pan rails that must be notched slightly in some places to clear the rod bolts from hitting this area, the crank throws wont come close. The rotating assembly needs to be partialy assembled and rotated to determine where to notch. It's better to maintain at least 0.05" clearance between the rod bolts and block.

Machine work varies from shop to shop, I would say 800-1500 is a broad gauge. For that you should get the block full machined with deck plates, stroker clearanced as well shot peened and hot tanked.
As for assembly, that varies as well. Your best bet is to contact an engine builder you want to use and see what his prices are.

Do you guys take block and assemble them for people who need to mail them in? I wouldn't mind sending my block far for it to be done correctly at a price that isn't 10k
