So I got completely screwed on the "machine shop fresh" motor that I purchased and have decided not to use it. I'll be using an ls6 that I was saving to swap my wife's 86 trans am. The motor I have needs the crank polished, new bearings and I'm going to have new rings and a fresh hone done too. Wonder if it's worth it to stroke to a 383 or just install forged rods and pistons and reuse the stock crank?
