It's all to easy to spend somebody else's $$$, agreed, but the OP already yanked it apart. Should They waste money on the head & intake gaskets etc. to just button it up & roll the dice? Funny 'bout the "funnel" comment. A friend of Mine got new (std.)pistons, rings etc., for a rebuild of the 302 in His Furd tk. Kept touchin' base to see how it was goin', one day He was honing the cyls., 3 days later,....He was honin' the cyls.?!! I said, "let Me bring the bore gauge!", after telling Him He had the holes tapered .021" He got another block & did it right. Lol!
