[QUOTE="RippinSVT, post: 3197656, member: 25629"] If you are spending the money on pistons/rods, send the block to a reputable machine shop get it bored with torque plates and honed, as well as get main journals align-honed and the decks checked/squared, then assemble it. You may have to get the crank journals ground for an oversized bearing as well, since you may have scoring on them. I am getting all my machine-work/balancing/shortblock-assembly done for under a grand, even though I've built multiple pushrod V8's and OHC 4-6 cylinder motors before. I am planning on building my motor to withstand 1000 horsepower, so 200 bucks for assembly seems reasonable to have someone who has built hundreds of motors do it. If you don't plan on making more than 500 rwhp, then you could build it yourself and just a bottle-brush honed and chamfer the other parts. Make sure to pay attention to oil-passages in the crank journals and get them good and clean/honed. [/QUOTE]
