It would be easier to bore this block another .5mm rather than buying a new/used block, but who should I believe?
Why do you seem dead set on boring it out? IMO, if you are dead set on boring it out stick with a shop that is used to boring out Ford ModMotor engines (4.6/5.4). You aren't going to notice any huge gains with that small of an overbore.
Not dead set in any way, shape, or form Ryan. I said that I was getting confliciting info from different members, and I was unsure of what to believe. I just thought it may possibly be cheaper. Don't crucify me just yet folks. I jut want to make sure that I get it right this time. And as far as the how-to I was looking for, it was for the minor details that I didn't want the shop just taking guesses at. I understand the basics. But I've since got those details. Thanks to everyone.
