I bought some new forged Wiseco 4.03" pistons a few years for an engine I am planning on rebuilding and then a few years after that I found a new 24502503 Bowtie Chevy small block with the 3.98" bore. This is the factory blueprinted bow tie block that can be bored to 4.155". I've decided to use the Bowtie block since I don't have the original block for my car and I can't do a numbers matching restoration anyway. I hate to bore a new block but am considering it since I already have the 4.03" pistons. This block already has all the freeze plugs and oil gallery plugs installed but no cam bearings. I'm wondering is if I can have this block bored and honed with the freeze and gallery plugs installed ( I guess it's really not a big deal to remove and reinstall the plugs). This block has 2" cam bearing bores that can be bored larger so I considering roller cam bearings. I don't know any machinists to talk to but there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this website. Any opinions or suggestions?
Thanks,
