Talked to the guy. Just left his shop actually. I'm gonna have him bore it .030, buy the parts, and build the short block. He's willing to help me out getting all the "motor" info for hemifever. Help me get the correct pushrod lenght and help me check the piston to valve clearence. He said bring your stuff up and I'll show you how its done.
I also asked what it would be after boring and he said a 365

Is that price with forged pistons? If they aren't much more than cast, you might want to get the forged pistons and a good set of rings in case you want to SC later.

Rex I'm not sure. Don't seem to make sense having forged piston caps and the rest of the internals stock. Am I wrong?
Max I am not building a damn race truck. I don't need a racing carb. Further more I would never go from efi to carb. Personally I hate carb'd engines. They are a pain in the *** to keep running when cold. That's been my experience with them anyway

I was only half serious. I know some folks have talked about getting superchargers, nitrous, etc., and if you had any reason to have a stronger, better sealing bottom end in the future, now is the time to consider it. The stock 360 rods are forged and the crank is pretty strong for it being cast.
