cylinder wear?

[J17HENRY]

Whats the chance a lb7 with 180 on the clock would be ok on cylinder wear to not have to bore on a rebuild? Whats the chance on reusing reusing the pistons?

180 is nothing, just hone the block and check the pistons for anything unusual like pitting , erosion, cracking ... Etc

About 99 percent.

Not a very good pic, but this was mine with 162K on it. It still had factory cross hatch markings in it with very visible leopard spots still in the cylinder walls.

Maybe mine will look that good. I know i will need rods, I am wanting to do a very mild motor build what else should I do while I have it down? My goal is around 650 hp daily driver. I am going to to the diy s475 over stock. Don't want to spend my life savings.
