Yes a machine shop setup my short block initially, but it's been apart several times since then with many changes.
This is very correct I don't have the capability at my house too hot tank, Sonic check, shot peen, bore, I guess I could have notched the bottoms of the cylinders for the stroker, but since they had a machine to do that.. and since they were adding Mallory to internally balanced I figured go the head and throw the cam in and dial it in and call it a short block and then I was having new valves and valve seats put in the heads so I just said go ahead and put them on and call it a full block. but again I've had this all apart and back together a couple times since then.
