i just got my fresh shortblock back from the shop.and while pre -reassembling everything i noticed that once i got the main bearing in that the crank end-play was obnoxious without the main-caps installed. i looked at the back bearing and it looks to me like theres something missing between the crank kinda looks like im missing another half of a bearing or does the rear main cap take up this play??? i hvnt installed them yet. so im just wondering if its time to send the block back, i have to send it back again anyhow to get it decked.He didnt do that part of the job. for zero deck i have to mill .035, but .040 should be good right?? .005 above deck .040 pistons, 53 cc heads, .045 gasket or maybe even a stock .025 steel shim i have 4 laying around. so what would any of u gurus recommend. and what camshaft should i install. On another note the heads have been ported street strip, back cut valves polished backs and faces.
Anyone have any idea what kind of power im looking at with a solid 278 camshaft?or the dual grind 264-274 cam?
Do any of u know how much it would cost for a normal machine shop to perform the 2v conversion?
