I was looking around at bare blocks and came across this one.
LQ4-LQ9-LS Bare Block: High Performance Engines | ATK Custom Built Crate Engines

It state ( block comes in a .030 bore size. It will have the cam bearings and pipe plugs installed ) does this mean the block would be ready to put together or does it still need to go to the machinest for final machining?

 

I would prefer to have the pistons in hand before final honing.

 

Unless you wanted to bore it out more, I guess its ready to build.
In the features it says "ready to build"

 

Thanks for the comment guys
That's the first thing I thought of was having piston in hand to finalize the honing.

 

thought you were doing a 383 build? what happened?

 

.030 is good for rebuild. Just my opinion, but, you should bring it to the machinist just to be sure it's ready.

 

Yeah i thought bout it but 408 sounds a lot nicer. But you never know my buddy has both a 5.3 and 6.0 that i could get from him or buy a bare block. Just unsure right now.

 

Yes sit im a believer in having the machinist double check everything before I check it.
