OK this is the third time this motor has had problems so I went out and spent the money to have my machine shop build it. I gave him a virgin 5.0 yyy block and my crank rods and pistons. He charged me 600 bucks to do everything clearance block for 347 assembly, line hone for D.S.S. Girdle, bore block to fit pistons, cam bearings, core plugs, including bearings and pistons rings. So i got the short block back about 2 weeks ago and this is what it looked like.



And this is what it looked like after i put the long block together
