Im going to call him bout that as i have a 2 bolt main in his shop that is 4" and never been bored . That would be alot better than the sleeved 4 bolt . Really should have bought an aftermarket block , but then i would end up with a big inch small block , which isn't a bad thing . I mean i already bought good stuff . The price would have been the same all i needed was a block . Kinda stuck with a 383 now or start from scratch .

I sold the 396 with the Luv . The guys that bought the truck are strictly grudge racers so im hesitant to discuss it as it is their race program now . I will tell you that is runs good and is out of the Houston area . The truck has been repainted as the new owners have a body shop . They just bought a proven combo with all my notes and repainted it and showed up in a different area as unknowns .
