And so it starts... 340 build

Watching this one! Did you hone it or have the shop do it? I bought some ball hones I can't wait to try. What work did you do to the crankshaft? Going this route with my 318 to learn with junior. Not my first but been a while. Thanks!
Thanks for tuning in Dan.
Have fun with your son. Mine just popped in and out on this. No real interest in it.
I had a race shop do the work. I dropped the crank off and said if it can be polished, please do so (as cutting is more money but if it needs it, it needs it.)
On the block, same deal, if you can hone it......
That and bearings ran about $250.
The slugs are old TRW’s. New moly rings from Summit racing. About a hundred bucks. Valley plugs and frost plugs were needed.
Total into the parts is approximately $400. Give or take. I try and not look at recipes as there depressing. And truth be told, to really don’t care.

I forgot to get cam bearings. And a few other small things. So, there will be a delay... LOL! But I have most everything...* I think!*
