Ok, cool. I remember seeing that tool in the shop manuals, but never seen it used. Always just took block to machine shop, didn't think a shop would want to do it any other way.
Sounds good, keep us updated.

i remembrer the old edition of the build book had a part number for high strength nodular iron liners
Wonder if these can be installed using this method or if they still need the same heavy machining as Darton's
The engine block is a production Original Equipment (OE)
block casting with high strength liners installed. The
production liners are machined out and thick-walled,
nodular iron, high-strength liners are installed (part number
88958681). The stock bore size is maintained.

Shame it looks like it is not available anymore
