Finding a reputable machine shop within modest driving distance is my first chore! I'll need someone to check the bore alignment, install cam bearings, pipe-tap the freeze plug holes, bore the cylinders out using torque plates, and finish them to some oddball spec I'll have to find. Ugh, the dream has turned ugly! Hehehehe...

I'll poke 'er to about 4.030, maybe less to have room for rebuilding later down the road. Stroking is undecided as of yet. She wants to be a 408, though.
