After:

Hot tanked, bored .030 over, new freeze plugs, cam bearings, few other odds and ends.  He rounded the connecting rods, ARP bolts, turned/resurfaced the crank, etc; even resurfaced/cleaned my aluminum heads free of charge!

Whats up man?  Haven't seen you around in a while.  Anyways, sounds like a good plan there.  What H/C/I do you plan on?  331 or 347?
