You have too, sounds like the block wasn't line bored.. sounds ok

i have been watching this video series on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap6dxOmNs6M, it seems to bring alot of insight to a re-build. Are they doing it right? I hope im not setting myself up for failure. Thanks for the help and info.

Looks ok, just remember that a 350 chevy spec is not a turbo buick V6 spec. We actually have all of our rotating assemblies assembled by our engine builder, we do the rest.

Hopefully if anyone reads this and can help will put in their two cents....we will see. Also i will be up untill i cannot go any farther so call me if you want to.

Hows it going, I just realized, it sounds like you already did this..
