Need Some advice

a whats goin on everybody. well right now i got my engine torn down to were the block is striipped and so is the heads. i was just wondering with me doing a rebuild and this being my first time. what do you recommend me to have the machin shop do. im planning on having them just clean and resurface both. and i want to get my cylinders bored about 20. please help me out.



Valve jobs cost like 175 i really dont want to pay for that tho. thanks for your info.

have the block magnafluxed and checked for cracks and imperfections, bore it .030 over, you'll be better off. other machining specifics are dependant on what you're trying to get out of it. what are you trying to build? are you trying to squeeze every last bit of HP out of it, or just a moderately powerful engine?

I agree, we need to hear your goals to recommend what should be done.

Well basically i was just trying to have a moderatly Hp Motor not to powerful. but i do want it to be a little powerfull. im not tryin to get all the hp Out of it tho...

O ANd its a 350 chevy to let you know.

sHOULD I GET MY BLOCK HONED AND THEN BORED OUT. RESURFACED AND CLEANED........

bore before hone, but yes, do all that.

i'll break it down a little better...

magnaflux and hot tank the block,
bore cylinders .030 over,
recondition rods and crank,
have the rods drilled for ARP bolts,
align hone is probably not needed if you re-use the stock crank,
have new cam bearings and freeze plugs installed,
a set of keith black hypereutectic pistons,
i'd ditch those heads and get a set of vortec's,
a edelbrock performer vortec manifold,
cam and carb of your choice.

all that there should get you good performance at a pretty decent price.
