I take back my statement. If you do just to clean everything up and refresh it than yea go ahead. BUT if your doing it because you are looking for power than its definetly not worth it.

you cant go that route, it has to be bored and honed 30 thou, you need pistons and rings and everything else for the rebuild

if you are rebuilding a 200k shortblock you HAVE to bore and hone the block, your not gonna buy a set of rings and put it back together

Where do you live? I have a dss 306 shortblock with a 512 lift cam sitting in my garage. I am in the Chicagoland area.
