Good morning, John, and herd. Me too! I've already started doing projects in a messy carport and shop. I did stop one project so I could start straightening up the shop yesterday. I won't start any machining projects unless the shop is straight. Cleared bench tops, clean machines, and an unobstructed runway between the lathe & milling machines, to the breaker box.

I don't remember what a clean shop looks like anymore...lol I have that one engine block that was already bored .030 and has a pretty good ridge on the top of the bores. I don't have the proper measuring tools to know if the block has any more life in it so likely just as well to send it over to the scrap pile. Glad I picked up the other engine before it was scrapped ..

John a 5.8/351 can go .060 over easy. & if it's a roller cam it's worth more than a flat tappet.

If you can't save, give it away.

Morning David, if I can find someone with the measuring tools I'll see if it's still a workable block. I have two intakes too I have no use for too. My plan it to use a Holley Sniper system on this..
