SHORT FILL SBC
I am building a 383 chevy 600+hp and 250 shot block has been completely gone over and 4 bolt main and machined for main straps. My question is do I need to short fill the block and how do I go about it. The car will be driven on street once in while.

Make sure you do one side at a time and level the deck before filling.
You will also want to do this before you have the block bored/honed. Once the filler cures, it can slightly distort the bore.
