Post subject: engine blocks

PostPosted: Sun Feb 10, 2002 3:09 pm

I bought a 225 engine out of a 1980 truck. I read the slant sickness hot rod article and 76 and newer blocks aren't very desireable blocks for build ups because of the narrower mains and connecting rod journals. Are they that weak to do a build up on. I plan to blueprint the block, bore it 0.030" stock crank and rods. I've already polished the head did a competition valve grind and decked the hed 0.060". I would to also put a mild cam in along with it. Any suggestions
