Steve Dulcich on building a budget 318

Per the recent (highly contested) cheap 318 build thread-

I'd love to see a "running engine" upgrade without machine work like decking the block or replacing pistons.

Machine work is a budget killer these days. There really is no way to do any of this cheap if people cringe at 500- 1000- 2000 dollars here and there they have to get used to it it's just numbers. If you want the good parts. It adds up.
