L72 Trip to machine shop

[Chevy454]

Pictures look good! Now, I don't want to sway you in any way, as I'm not sure what kind of rebuild you are after, but you might want to reconsider the TRW's. I know a LOT of people use them, but in recent years the quality has lessened quite a bit. I thought this was just "bar talk", but when we rebuilt dad's L-72 last summer, we ordered the correct L2268 replacement pistons, and when we cc'ed them, they averaged about 6 cc's less than they were supposed to (28cc vs. 34cc). This is how they probably came from the factory, but when I do it again, I'm probably going to with Ross or JE pistons...they are more expensive, but are also a lot more "correct".
