Hello again, is torque plate honing really a necessity for power levels between 4-500hp. Its my stock 351w I just rebuilt and since the motor was only ran for about 3 hours I just wanna slap a good set of hyp. pistons in. Was going to toss it in my 95, throw a 70-72mm turbo on and be done with it. Was thinking I could keep the stock heads, crank, and rods and swap the regular cast pistons out for the hyp. pistons. The block was bored and honed at a shop but I'm almost certain they didn't use torque plates. Could I just toss the hyp pistons in slap the turbo on the pretty much stock motor and have a happy reliable 4-500hp or would the block have to be honed again with torque plates?
The main point is to get the 95 running and save my money for my 84lx which is going to be twin turboed with a dart iron eagle block. But if theres nothing wrong if swapping out the pistons in a pretty much freshly rebuilt 351w I'd like to do that too.
