No 428 block will go to 4.250, or even 4.230 for that matter. A 4.250 x 4.250 is meant to start with a 427 block or an aftermarket block.
I have no clue how he's getting to 482, unless it's with a custom billet crankshaft.
Yes, I have had bad experiences with him, a couple of years back. He bores his blocks on the floor with a portable boring machine. That should give you some clue as to how professional the shop is.
Well, I will say this....that was about 3 years ago. He may have changed his ways since then.

I think he sweeps the floor before he bore them now, nothing like process improvements..  |

That's too bad, if he's the one you had trouble with. His site on ebay has good information and pretty pictures but, you know how that goes.
I suppose someone should alert him about this post, so he can defend himself. We'll see what happens

I'm confused... He had many items listed on ebay, but has NO feedback for the last 90 days??? His website nore his eBay listings give much detail on any of the products.
I would be cautious on just those facts alone....
