[V8] Fw: Ball hone

[Scott Simmons]

I do believe Ron posted something here awhile back regarding people who 
re-etch Alusil blocks.  I know folks in the 944 and 928 communities do 
it only slightly more often than rarely, but it's still feasible.  I 
know a few 944 turbo owners who've done it to their track cars and I'm 
old friends with an enthusiast who stroked and bored his 928 from 4.5 to 
6.5L (and added two turbos..).  If that's possible, one wonders what 
possibilities lie untapped in the 3.6L engine.....
