Newbe finds "mexican" block a few questions *pics added
Hello, I am new to the forum, from focaljet.com, and have a s/c Ford Focus. I just bought a 89 lx. To make it short I know a guy who knows a guy that wanted to get rid of his 1970 Ford van. For the hell of it I went over too look, and sure enough made in Mexico. I bought it for $150, and took it apart eveything looks good including the cylinder wall's, but the pistion say 040. I guess that means it has alredy been board out? I want to build a 331 , so am I screwed since it is already board out? I heard a 347 is hard on the rings becaus of the rod angle?
