That aint bad.....you can knock off the line bore. They never need it. Look....I'll give you a tip. Machine shops love to spend money. YOURS. don't go into it ASKING them about stuff like sleeves and line boring. Let them check it and tell you. You go askin um about it and lots of times it'll need it just cause you brought it up. So I come up with 588 on machine work. See, I told you it could be done if you shop around. All these folks sayin you can't do this and that in a budget...that's fine and all. they probably never had to work with just what they had. Probably always been able to shell out a grand for a crank and all that hooha. And that's great. Bless their hearts. I'm glad they can do it, but I can't. I've rebuilt every oil pump in nearly every engine I've ever built for ME. Why? Oil pump kits are less than half the cost of an oil pump and the cast iron bodies of an oil pump seldom wear at ALL. I save money literally everywhere I can. I'm tearing down an old dual point 383 distributor right now to build for my 451. By the time I'm done, it will be an electronic distributor with a hot advance curve for under a hundred bucks including the cost of the distributor itself. You gotta do what you gotta do.
