Stop or keep going?

Everyone suddenly wants $500 for their 360 or 318 blocks around here. I see your point, but I am into the block for $185, less than half of what everyone around here is asking. I was willing to gamble the $60, but was thinking about all the talk here on FABO on overboring after they called about needing a sleeve.

I get it. But .060 is pushin it for a late 70s block. I did a 417 years ago from a 77 360 at a .070 over bore, but I had it sonic tested. Ended up with about 700 in that bare block........in about 1998. The block is one place you really don't want to cut corners. Kinda like building a brick house on a straw foundation. Next time that engine needs a rebuild, better hope it doesn't need boring, because it probably won't take it.
