		| I've taken my 361 FT block to popular local machine shop (they do race engines mostly GM) to have it sonic checked.  I asked them about other machine work when I asked about having a torque plate put on it, they said because the bolts are so far from the cylinder that a torque plate wouldn't be helpful.  What are your opinions on this statement?  Also any suggestions for machine shop in mid Michigan area who specializes in FE engines?  Thanks  |
