My block ordering experience was horrible, payed almost 8 grand for a block that the decks were .022" shorter than I orderd, varied .003"from one side to the other..me having Pistons alread, Pistons would be .022" out of the bore... kens fix for having the decks to short was to buy me a set of thicker head gaskets, he told me he could not afford to buy me Pistons, and couldn't pay me my money back for a "long time",seal area on the block was welded on, line hone was off, #5 main cap was .0005" to big, could feel parting line(from block to cap) with your finger nail.....waited 20 extra weeks from quoted time to get it...should have, bought a billet block....was it worth the wait?..... NO!!!!!!!!!
