Just got off the phone with the machine shop. Looks like everything is good to go. They're going to bore and hone .040" over, zero deck, install new pistons (convert to floating pin if needed) on the rods, figure out what is wrong with the #6 cap and line hone or whatever is needed, polish/turn the crank if needed, replace cam bearings, install ARP rods bolts and reround the ends, tap the crank snout for a sbc bolt, file the rings, and... I think that's it.

Spring pressures were 93lbs @ 1.75" installed height and 290lbs @ 1.23" which is full lift of the cam. Seems kinda light on the seat which bugs me.

Head should be sent off to Tom tomorrow or Wednesday along with the head rebuild kit so I can get that in the works.
