There are a million speed shops or quality engine builders that would gladly do it. Otherwise you could purchase all the equipment and have a GOOD machine shop do it. Make sure you get referenced though from someone in your area. Ask Chuck S. were he had his done. He used
Arias Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
Z31 rod bearings
Balanced, blueprinted.
Ported water passAges to remove casting flash (problem with these
motors, especially cyl 5 and 6)All this stuff is going to cost you but in the end your block will be indestructable. I am sure you could run wicked amounts of hp before you had a problems from the block. Unless you planning on running in excess of 600hp, Stock replacement will work fine. I am building mine myself using stock block size, crank, rods, and pistons, but am using premium Clevite rings and bearings. They cost me about 250$ for all but since those are really the most problimatic of any parts in the short, I figured I would have it done. Also getting it balanced and blueprinted $150. Honing and cleaning only cost me 50$. I am only planning 500hp for the motor. Good luck
