[QUOTE="duane v, post: 3190697, member: 11189"] You can bet the cylinder bores will be out of round, especially after 63k miles and an aluminum block..Also line honing is very critical...Granted, I have done a couple of budget 4.6 cobra rebuilds for two of my pals, where I re-machined the stock rods so they could be fitted with ARP fasteners and used forged Ross factory spec pistons. But I still had the crank balanced and micro polished, and I bottle honed the bores. I'm surprised those two motors are still running today after 7 years, but I don't recommend doing budget rebuilds with these motors, especially when you can get a quality short block from VT at a great price..DA snake boy!!!
