And (because you didn't state it's done already) balancing for the rotating assembly.

Or you could buy a Boss347 and it will be aready done.

A bare block will require all surfaces to be machined.

i plan on buying a boss block too, so how much does everything cost (est.) done right, cuz i'd gladly spend whatever amount to make sure my block is done right, cuz that's def. not the place to worry about saving a buck. looking for a ball park figure.

From my understanding, the Man-of-War block from World Castings is far superior to the Boss 302 block, andalmost the same price ($1759 for unprepped Boss, and $2250 for prepped MoW). I would not spend so much money on a premium name, when there is a much better block to be had. The Man-of War 8.5 deck (302 block) can safely be bored and strokedto 371 c.i., and their 9.5 deck (351) can be taken safely to 460. No Boss block can do that. I don't work for World, but I really don't like that the Boss is much to expensive for what it is capable of, but high prices seem to be standard with FRPP.
