    Moly rings but not torque plate honed

    383/432 bored 30 over, honed wth NO torque plates. Can I run moly rings or am I better off with iron rings that will wear into the bores? Trying to not have oil blowby the rings. I assume I cannot torque plate hone it now without leaving the pistons too loose in the bores. thanks

    383 / 426 build questions

    This is for a street driven build. Is the 440source kit good quality, or would you recommend someone else? Is the crank machine work accurate, or does it need to be redone? Is the balance job accurate or just oem tolerances? I assume these kits internal balance? Cylinder heads: I will use...
