Thanks guys.

I remember a post a long time back were B-man filled a block with muriatic acid. I was thinking Evapo-rust for a couple days to clean the inside of the block. Makes me wonder if the blasting and baking would make it even cleaner or not.

Sounds like my best bet is to get the 'Block Rock" filler and have the machine shop do it.

Steve C that related discussion was why I was asking. My current 455 is a .060 over block. I pulled it out due to bad blow by past the rings. I have not pulled the heads off but it shouldn't have enough miles to this bad. Makes me wonder if the cylinders have distorted. If I end up build another block and I'm sure I will I want to do it right.
