[QUOTE="Slammed99Vert, post: 16034742, member: 193158"] Got a little more work done today. Got the motor all the way down to the short block and BOY was I both disappointed and happy lol. On one side(the disappointment) as I predicted the previous owner DID NOT forge the bottom end. Also, it looked like before I got a hold of it, it had gone some time without an oil change here and there or a lot lol. Along with some pretty heavy burnt oil build up on the pistons. There is some light scoring on the cylinder walls but as long as the original hone wasn’t done over the top I won’t need to take much out of the sleeves. Which transitions into why I’m happy. Given the taper and the original hone isn’t bad I should be able to get away with a very minimal bore or even just a good machine hone. Also I already found and bought my NEW, never used, SVT/Manley h-beams! Here are a few pictures of the motor and you can see what I was talking about with the color and the buildup. [/QUOTE]
