87GN , I have a question or two regarding the engine rebuild at the machine shop. Is/was it an option to have the block line bored for the mains and grinding the crank to eliminate the shims on the main caps? Similar question on grinding the rod journals on the crank , boring the rods to eliminate the shims? Thanks for sharing your progress.
