this guy seems cheaper than most and can get 1166 eveb though this is a 1135 kit

Yeah Pos.

I saw those kits. I haven't really established a good relationship with a machine shop I really trust around me, I'd probably source the work out to a forum member.

And as Big Jay said, I could get a bit of a discount on machine work if I was to purchase a kit from the same place that does the work.

Yup I don't know what I had to do to my own motor.
Actually the kit Ray sold was in fact a 1260 and he had to bore the cases for that.

I haven't sent a 1260 kit out Bill. The WORST I have had to do with ONE 1150 block going into 1100 cases was a little cleanup with a Dremel. Ray.

I'm sorry Ray, I thought that was the one you offered to sell me and it turned out to be a 1260 with the 18mm pins.

As Ray stated you do have to clean the block a bit to get the block in. Not alot as seen in the pictures.
Or ONE or two because mine was not a good fit at all hence the machining.

I still like my 1327... Sorry guys, I have been reading a lot and not participating, so I thought I would throw in the 2 pennies...

Of the 9 - 1229/1100 motors I've built using 1100 cases, I have only had to clearance 1 upper case half for the sleeves to clear & it was only a little. That was the engine I shipped to "1150streetracer" in Maryland. Ask him how THAT motor runs!!! Ray.

Do you use a block plate when honing the block ?

I use 2 of them to sandwich the block. Ray.
