The other issue is he wants to run a 440 Source crank and also wondered what the general concensus is on those these days. I can recall years ago that their reputation was less than stellar. I guess my feeling is that if I'm hell bent on running a 6k aluminum block on the street, I'm going to run Callies, Kellogg etc. Am i completely off base here? :-)

If he wants to spend 6 large for a block and fill it with 440 Source parts, [censored] it, it's his money shruggy All of it should be sent to a reliable machine shop to be checked and corrected as necessary.
