I disagree. I tell my machinist that too... mostly cause he does my stuff on the side. I paid a 30 pack of bud light to have my 452’s milled. He told me I was really good at spending money. He must not have met my wife... I figure most of the time, you send the motor to the machine shop before the rest of the car is done. I know my motor has been done for 2yrs machine and 1 yr short block. No need to put the heads on if it won’t be fired for a while. My car won’t even be in paint til the fall
