The time has come

I found a bare 302 block, honed and completely cleaned for 50 bucks. Goin next saturday to pick it up. I don't have anything to put it in yet, but I figure by the time I get this built I should have something for it. Paul, your build thread better be back like it was, Im gonna need it.

good luck on the build

 

[Paul]

Go get it man.

Don't trust someone's word on the quality of machinework either. Check EVERYTHING.

 

[Dairy King]

How do you suggest I check it? Do you mean with calipers and shit?

 

[Paul]

Yes. At the minimum, make sure you plastigage the mains and rods when you install them. Check crankshaft endplay. A basic magnetic-base dial indicator and a digital or analog dial caliper can be had for not too much money. Bad machinework can tank a project with the best of intentions real quick.

 

[Dairy King]

Ohh. I thought you meant before I buy it. I will do all of that of course before I start building.
