Re: 478 to SM420
So I stopped by my machinest tonight, you can imagine what he said about the V6. Something about "sorry". His biggest issue was the lack of parts availability. He has been a machinist for 40 years, he took me in the back and showed me he had an early 305 tore down, headed to the junk yard because he couldn't get the parts or the cost was too much to rebuild. He also stated the top end wasn't the problem but finding the parts for the rotating assembly, which I knew already.
Anyway, he didn't have the ability to balance the 478. Don't know what to do at this point, I don't have a lot of options for machine work on this side of the state.
