If the plastigage is narrower at one end after compressing this may indicate the need for alignhone / alignbore.

That seems to align with the comments from my new engine builder buddy. He was hung up from showing up to take the block yesterday but promises to show up today (he's semi-retired). I'm getting a bit impatient to get this issue addressed, line bored if necessary, and get back to assembling the engine.
My best friend who sold me the truck has been sending me links to small block Chevy engines saying that Summit could delver one to my house in two days....... I really want this engine with the McCulloch supercharger given how unique it will be, but I have admit the small block is getting more tempting as every week rolls by without a solution completed.
