I thought about the "crate motor" route, but I already have this nice set of aluminum heads waiting to be put on a SBC. What I want for internals is probably not offered as a package..(pretty potent linup of aftermarket parts.)
The issue of overbored cylinders, some not even matching the rest.. has me concerned too. I don't believe in undercutting cranks more than .010" if even at all. I am pretty picky when it comes to used engine parts, as are most people. While the "crate motor would most likely be a financial savings in end, I don't think it will be our route for this truck, but who knows, maybe my patience will run out and I will say "screw it" and just buy it? Tough to say right now...especially since this would have been my first engine rebuild with my son. Kinda lookin forward to that experience. Brian
