Cheepy Three-Sixty build

FWIW:
- You can save the decking cost by going to H116CP pistons in an undecked block, and will end up at the SCR with the same heads and head gaskets. The H116CP's cost $170 more than the H405CP at Summit.
- Line honing is an option in my book: If the crank installs and spins free, I have never had any issues personally, even cranking high revs.
- I don't bother with a rebuild without fresh bores; bore quality is the foundation of a good performing engine; even moreso at these power and torque levels.

The H116CP is a real nice piston and would have been what I went with had I not already had these 405's sitting on the shelf. When the main bores were checked three out of five were .0005" under the minimum. I didn't want to get this on the stand, install the crank and find out I had to take it back off for a line hone. Fresh bores are a must if the engine is to stand a chance of performing well. J.Rob
