Machine work

[PearlSweatshirt]

Iam planning on sending my block to a machine shop to get worked on. The head and bottom end. Iam shooting for an overall 400 hp goal or around that mark. Any suggestions on what I should get done on it? Thanks

It mainly depends on what needs to be done, Once it it is at the machine shop they should be able to tech it out and make there suggestions.

Before you go, you will want to read most of these so you will have an idea of what can be done.

There is a lot that goes with this question. The car guy answer is: everything. However, assuming you will be building a forged short block, think about whether you will stick with standard or over-sized pistons, in which case you'll need to have the block bored. Good machine shops can virtually do anything for you. From balancing your rotating assembly (very important), to decking it and in some cases hot-tanking the block to get it very, very clean.
