It almost looks worse than it is. But, peace of mind... do what will make you rest easy.

After. You need to clean the block to remove the honing grit.

My HD back in the day with a LQ4, stock internals, long tube headers, a Magnuson MP112 supercharger, 6.5-7lbs of boost made 440rwhp through a 4L80e and 14boltFF w/Detroit Locker rear end. That kit used is probably right in your price range!

Edit: I see you have the motor torn down. Concur with 1FastBrick
