small block rebiuld

Im getting ready to rebuild my motor to a 347 stroker. My question is how do i know if i need to hone my cylinder walls? I put heads cam and intake on and the pistons looked good didnt look like the cylinder walls were misshaped. But how do i know for sure? Thanks

Ask a decent machine shop to check them sounds like a safe bet.

RE: small block rebiuld

wait, so your building a stroker and you dont know if you should spend the money to bore your block?

why does this section fail so bad when it comes to people spending money on block machine work?
