Considering building a 340. Block doesnt need to been line honed as it sits, and was wanting to stick with the factory style 2,4 bolts with provisions for windage tray but was debating studding 1,3,5. I know 2,3,4 take the majority of the load, so is it worth the $200 in line hone to stud 1,3,5? Thoughts?
 
my thoughts are if your only going to do half the engine with superior parts why not do it all then you have no weak spots

even if you do 1,3,5 your still forgeting cylinders 7 and 8; they all share equal load; don't believe me? take the plug wires off those 2 cylinders and see if it still pulls hard!
