Hi Larry, I would be surprised if a machine shop would take your block
for machining without the pistons - wait until you have the pistons in
hand and take them in with the block.

A good machine shop should be able to help you with that decision. As a
bit of an aside, if you have the block that has cam bearings, hot-tanking
the block will damage the bearings and they should be replaced - something
else to order and take to the machine shop!
Good luck,
Mike
