Finally just went to the machine shop since they do not answer the phone. Everything is done except the block. Had to go to 0.030" over due to taper. He wants a piston to size his final bore and hone to. So now I'm in need of 0.030" over pistons delipped, decked, coated and with valve reliefs. Feel free to PM me prices.

Pistons you have are stock bore I'm guessing?

Just ordered some pistons from Jared, maybe I'll actually get the shortblock back together before the end of the year.

Possibly. I didn't take anything off for it, so I'll be working.

Picked up my stuff since I was tired of being ***ked around by the machine shop. Turns out they never did anything with it. The only good news I got from them was the fact that they were going out of business. Who knows of an actual good shop in PA?

Might want to contact spe and see who they use. Their the closest to you I think. Even MPD might be close enough?

Who does Stauffer use? Might call him. Maybe he does his own stuff

How far is Carlisle from you? I have heard good things about UCF machine there. They do a lot of power stroke heads and other stuff as well.
