Need advice, lost some parts in a fire!

It almost certainly could be used, if std bore. That said, I would look elsewhere. I would salvage what came easily, sell the rest cheap. I would not mislead. I believe your intent to take it to a reliable machine shop is a good plan.

The last V8 blk I had bored was 'fitted'. $375 out the door for 100% street. The last build I was asked to get involved with (360 in) had went down twice w/less than 100 mi total. My advise easily fixed the problems. Machine shop bill was $1150 for oem blk & hds. 100% street Duster went 12.6 the first run.

There are certainly cheaper hobbies, goldfish for instance. Good luck forward from this point.

Thanks guys.
I had someone show some interest in buying it, but after seeing what some of them go for, I chickened out and decided to rebuild it.
I love driving it and miss it very much.
I'll try to keep this thread updated. (and I'll be asking a ton of questions!)

Maybe ya should put everything down on paper BEFORE your final decision.     Then ya have more of a ball park figure of the cost.. They can turn into a money pit FAST.

Damn, not sure what to comment. You certainly are not bothering me.

I am somewhat new to this forum. I make no excuses, I have and intend to gain from my membership. Everybody here gains something.

That said, this forum requires effort and dedication not easily visible or often appreciated.
