Rebuild 1 (back from the machine shop) Reply #2 – November 04, 2005, 10:21:08 PM and yet some more. First off hte block went into the machine shop for some freshing up, I had them do an alignment hone, bore the cylinders .030 over and deck the block. It also received a chemical bath *reason for the eaten away paint), new freeze plugs and all bearings repalced. The heads and block are both going to be "Old Ford blue" all accy will be black unless it its already aluminum. So far at this point i have $900 into the reuild, Including the full gasket set, bearing, pistons and rings. Ill add the other stuff in as i install it. Quote Selected
