Machine work to a 350 block
I just got a 350 block and I need some machine work done to this block. Can you guys please let me know of someone or somewhere that does good machine work for a reasonable price? Thanks
Machine work I'm thinking of doing?
1. bore it out 60 over
2. Hon it
3. clean the block
4. Magnaflux it
5. install pistons on rods
6. balance it

And, I would only do that on an older block, not on the later ones (thin castings).

technically you can get any sbc past smog, however, the law says that you are not allowed to use an older than your model year casting for an engine.

Get a new block. Like everyone has said here .060 is way too much. I prefer not to go over .030, but like mentioned .040 is fine. Find a block that you can do .030 get some nice forged pistons and rods and be happy.

I have a 4 bolt one piece rear seal that will clean up at .040 but it is not a roller block.

The only thing I have is a complete Balanced and Blueprinted block. LT4 Hot cam, TRW forged pistons, forged rods, forged crank, Moroso pan, Cloyes double roller timing set, high volume pump, ARP waveloc, Etc... Though it might be out of your price range... Also selling Super Ram and AFR 195's... As long as the price is right. Otherwise they will go into a future project.
