Hi Greg, Thanks for your offer. I am just now getting started with the project and I already have the heads , manifold and carb. The block will go out in a week or so to the machine shop. There is not much you can do to the block and I would imagine that I should have the deck height set at a few thou over spec. I am not familiar with OEM Crankshafts and not sure who would be a good supplier. Got any ideas? They list a few manufactures in the tech replacement guide for rods and pistons so I will cross that bridge when It get that far. Thanks again
Dale
