Would it be dumb to use your stock short block and buy all new internals? Shortblocks are kind of expensive.
I did use my stock block just had it bored .020 over to fix the scratches.

Well from start to finish it took since october when I pulled the engine. But I took My time and was in no hurry since I have other cars to drive. If I were to do again I would do it in Aug. (end of racing season) where the machine shop wasnt so busy and this would have all taken my just a couple weeks. I picked up the shortblock from the machine shop on tuesday and by thursday its sitting in the car.
