[QUOTE="boosted2000si, post: 8023013, member: 38988"] Take your finger nail and try to scratch any marks in the block. If your nail gets hung up in any you will need to have it bored out. If your nail runs smooth across any marks you can work with just a hone. You need to make sure you keep the rod caps to the specific rods, but the order in which the rods go back in the block doesnt really matter. There is no way to tell if you will require a line bore unless you take the bottom end completely apart, which I would to save the money from paying the machine shop to do it. If all your mains are in good shape, use the finger nail method, then you are good to go and will not need a line bore. If one is scored or messed up you will then need a line bore, and will need larger bearings. You dont have to use OE Ford bearings. I used clevite main and rod bearings. I think clevite makes them for ford but I am not sure. I just think there will be a heavy tax to order the bearing at ford. [/QUOTE]
