I will do $250.00 delivered to you.

However, these are OLD engines and by the time you hone
them the piston to wall would be much more clearance than I
would run especially with a cast stock piston. You could coat the
pistons but for what that cost = It would be easier to buy Oversize
Pistons and balance them to match the pistons you have.

$250 is a little more than I was hoping to spend, (I do appreciate the delivery offer).

The whole rotating assembly is balanced and the pistons I bought new so I am already in it $800 all told so far. For what I can budget towards this engine it is just not feasible right now. Otherwise I am totally with you; Buying new pistons would definitely be the way to go for block availability.
Thank you for your .02

I am currently noodling the idea of junkyard 360 magnum that my heads will bolt to since those complete engines are more readily available and I won't care as much if I scatter with the giggle gas.
