Well, after several weeks of waiting to have my 351w block checked for integrity, my machinist tells me that the #6 cylinder is too thin to bore out (I don't want to re-sleeve or anything like that, I just want a good solid platform). I bought a long block for $200 and I crossed my fingers when I dropped it off. Anyway, I'm looking to buy just a bare, stock 351 block...nothing crazy, nothing DART. Just a nice seasoned 351 block. Does anyone have a place they can steer me that can help me out with this? I don't want to do the "junkyard" thing because it's just Russian Roulette when you take it to the machinist. Please advise.
