If you can take a look at the main bearings and see how they are ask who did the work hopefully it was a reputable shop.

Maybe ask to have the block (line hone) checked by a machine shop first if it was never running after the conversion
Im going to get it tomorrow, my understanding is it was done but never put together. He did say it will need line honed. I only paid 100.00 for it seamed like that was a good price... Ill drop it off at a local speed shop and hope everything was done right before I start to put money in it. Thanks for your help!
