I believe you are correct. At the same time, there is something psychologically appealing about Dinan using an "almost new" block for the "new" engine.
It's better to use a "seasoned" block than a new one, especially when you are stroking, changing pistons ect. In my 1700+ hp Supra, I always use season blocks when we freshen up the motor.

Yep fully agree! I know BMW and others used to leave the block castings out side to 'age'/relax before machining for special applications.
Better a good old engine core than a brand new one.
Yeaeven though the interior is new, everything else is reused, i've switching over everything I can from our original engines to the stroked just to be safe. Water pump, vanos pressure pipe, lateral oil pumps, oil level sensor.
search for his other threads or go to the boost logic website.. his is the car that has the texas mile record...

I should be done with the break in period in a week or two. Then it goes to the dealer for service and to be put on the dyno. After that the real fun begins. I have been out of town, so the break in has been slightly longer for me.
