first off, i would never run and engine with mismatched bores, but thats just me maybe. It seems your machinist isnt the best place to be going to, thats why hes so cheap. 350 blocks are cheap, i sold a few shortblocks and longblocks for 150-250 bucks and the one could have been honed and ran with std. bore still. I always try to avoid increasing bore just incase i want to rebuild it again down the line. if you run a 40 over engine and it needs a rebuild, next is 60 over and thats getting iffy for higher hp levels IMO.
