Default what should I do to the block?

I'm going to be building a 347 stroker for my car. I have a 302 roller block from a 94 GT that I will be using.

I know it has be bored .030 over to be a 347. I know it needs to be Magnafluxed. I know I need to put new freeze plugs and cam bearings in.

What else should I do or do I need to do?

I will be running Nitrous if that makes a difference.

If you take it to a shop to have the block prepped they will do everything that you need. You dont really need to tell them what to do.. thats why they are the professionals. Just make sure that they are a "professional"

Ask around... talk to people on the internet; talk to your friends; just start asking people around your town etc.

damn blue your too fast for me.

you can always talk to your local exhaust shop and or speed shops to see if they recommend a good machine shop. i know in my town my local smog place is full of good info about performance referrals and stuff like that. then again my best friend works there
