thanks.. but I got the turbo stuff covered. In fact, we're trying to find a buyer for a Ponydown ceramic coated kit too (belongs to a customer)... most people want to go turbo, but only spend "nitrous" money.
Dale, it's a M6010-R302 block. Those are the caps that come on it.

That block is a good one. They should be pro-gram caps that are on that block if I remember right.

Block is finally at the machine shop.
I decided to take it to Howton's Automotive Machine in Hueytown, AL. For those who don't know, they used to build Bobby Allison's Nascar engines waay back in the day. Nice equipment, their work checks out great, and they take care of us. Also took a Buick GN block (109) to them for fitment of an RJC girdle (requires machining of caps). They have done a few of those for us over the years.

Finding a good machinist is hard to do nowdays. It took me a long time and I finally found a guy that is a one man shop, so the quality control is excellent. I got him torque plates and he does the hone to my specs. Honing is the single most important thing you can do to an engine to either make or break power and ring seal.
did you ever get your specs for your piston to wall clearance?

Yea Michael. I specified .005 (+.0005/-0.000) to keep cold-start noise to a minimum.
It's a bit tight, but the heat-barrier coating will keep some heat out of the pistons.

so the block is done then? Or close? I can't wait to see pics! Oh, got the clutch today, thanks! My lady took a pic of it at the shop for me. I posted it so my buddy could see his new toy.
I am still toying with sending that turbo down to ya.
