Ford Blue blood

Everytime I build a "street" engine the first thing that gets checked is bore tapper.  If there is any it goes over, if none it gets honed, if clearances are in spec it hits the tank.  Almost never just polish the crank, a 10/10 is just fine for the street and an occasional "stop light" run.  Given the time and effort to build a solid engine it is almost cheaper to go crate or replacement from any of the suppliers and it then comes with a warrenty.

If you need numbers matching or originality then Katey bar the door.....

I picked up a 272 awhile back to have bored to 292 for a project I'm still working on. I've got about $300 in it for hot tanking, boring it and resurfacing the deck. He even removed the 2 oil galley plugs I couldnt get out at home.
