Yeah, I'm actually still thinking about slapping it back together as a 351 with some new rings and bearings... so the machine shop may not even see it for a little while.

Go ahead and send it to the machine shop to atleast have it honed and check the cylinders for trueness, I did the re-ring and bearing on the motor I have in the car right now and unfortunately it did not work as I wanted it to. I thought it was gonna be a good idea with the motor only having under 20k miles on it.

Yeah, I decided yesterday just to go forth with the stroker motor and not even bother with assembling it back as a 351. It would just be added work of having to pull the motor again, and I would likely end up with less power than I have right now.

Decisions, decisions. . .
