 Took a few phone calls this morning to see what I am up against, cost wise.

A reputable engine shop in Oslo, Norway indicated the following prices:
Cylinder bore + hone: $400 fixed price, all 4 cylinders done
Crank + flywheel balancing: $250 fixed price + hourly rate for lightening the flywheel.
Line bore for main bearings: Hourly rate only, estimate $7-800. Oversize OD bearings will be cheaper than keeping the OD for stock bearings, i.e. Chrysler bearings is the way to go. The 10-pin process will add hours.

I was fearing the line bore would be more expensive, so I may well go that route, unless the 10-dowel itself is a lot more time consuming than the required line bore.
