Have that machinist send the parts you don't need BACK!!!! and get the parts for the more modern(presumably better) engine. When you are wanting perfect circle for that older engine, you are talking a lot of money and time to get it. Yes, if you actually decide to rebuild the older engine there are many on here that will assist you, and if no one else will "I will". But you must realize that you aren't building an old time racing engine. Now-a-days it just isn't worth the money. You can do a good rebuild, that will last along time, with out balancing and blueprinting it. The "prudent man" would build on the 60-235 since he has one. Let us know what you decide to do.
