I am building a 351W SVO block. in some places in the bores there is evidence of slight casting texture. This is going to require a little more then a HONE ... cost ??? I estimate if I was doing the work ?? it may need a slight hit with a boring bar then a hone ... the deck will need to be checked if its square ?? then the main caps need to be milled and block line bored and or maybe a slight hone ... can should also be honed ... in my guestimation ?? this is time and money. Buying a block could mean 1000.00 in machining ... money well spent ....
BUT AND I SAY BUT ... Tod has been involved in the manufacturing of a few other very successful FE blocks. So expect this C block to be of high quality ..which probably reduce that 1000 figure.
