360 questions

lol....cone shaped. !!! That is a machinist motto....to help seperate you from some greenbacks. You unknownistly believe that? .060" is quite a bit....but do not be discouraged. Are you friends with the guy? Ask him to mic at least ( 1 ) bore , top middle and bottom in front of you showing you the taper/wear. Originally 360's have a 4.00000 bore as cast/machined....all the way up and down the cylinders. If he can show you 4.019/4.029/4.039 variance anywhere in the bore, OR they have excessive rust, like the block has been sitting on the side of a metal shed with no intake or heads on.....I wouldn't believe that Machinist Lingo for a second.

I have torn down 200,000 mile small blocks with very little sludge, bore ridge, lack of crosshatch, or bearing wear....and yet again I have tore down 100,000 mile small blocks that have carbon/oil sludge deposits so deep you have to chisel them off....oil pick up screens partially clogged with RTV...wonder they even ran engines.

Do you have a camera? I would like to see some "Needing to be Bored .060" bores.

Anywho good luck...you have the right idea......its the 88-91 LA Roller Cam 360 you want....but I think you need a better machinist to begin with.

I am still ROFLMAO about the "Cone Shaped"
