JMX:
Tell me this is not true; You have just crushed my image of your complete superior technical, mechanical, machining and engineering abilities....I'm really bumbed now; my hero is a whimp.
On this note, I was considering essembling a new short block myself. I was thinking of buying a new LQ4 block and installing a stroker crank, new pistons, rods, bearings, etc. Since all the parts would be new, I thought there would be a minimum number of potential machining issues (like none) so I could basically bolt it together.
Are you saying this is WAY out of my league?
Thanks...

I don't know what website Ed used, but I have used LS1HowTo and InstallUniversity a bunch.

JMX ...your so modest! You should team up with Hillary and write a best-selling book that sells big time!
Hey, I'd buy it and I even hate books; the last one I read was 25 years ago!
Did you find anyone bold enough to go for a short-block engine swap in your garage? ...I would pay a small fee to see this documented....
