Yeah, I guess saying GM always did this or never did that is always wrong…just got back from getting a stock bore 400. Been looking for several years, mostly on Craigslist. Facebook is so bad. Most of them damaged, already maxed out on bore, or sketchy in some way. It helps that my paramedic/firefighter friend has lots of down time and finds a lot of these for me. He found the one I just bought. I won’t bore you with all the details, but it was complete and disassembled, the guy knew absolutely what he was talking about. And I had to jump in my truck and drive two hours to beat other people there. $450 non negotiable. I knew this was the one if I was actually going to do it. And I happened to be off today. Patience and luck, I guess. Maybe it’s easier in other parts of the country.

Now the harder part is finding a decent machine shop. Anything in the Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington KY area?
