If i went with a used core that would make sense, but Danny suggested we just go with a new OEM shortblock and then Mitsubishi does all that Machine work anyway. He said he would check clearances and file down the rings and everything so we should be good to go.
I don't think MAP's way was bad just unnecessary if you have a new block. Otherwise no one would be able to do drop in's ever if they had to bore/hone the motor.

I'm not mad sir lol, the truth is we're months out on labor anyways I just wanted to get another Evo X build under our belt so we could further the market those services on a national and international level.
To clear things up, we were also open to using a new stock block to avoid the machining costs. I simply had to warn you that aftermarket pistons generally run larger piston to wall clearances and that we wouldn't know for sure that no additional hone would be necessary until we had all of the parts spec'd out. If you recall you were the one that didn't want any additional charges popping up down the line
