| You always, always, ALWAYS bore a Ford block and sleeve it back to standard. The reason is so that you control any potential problems with cylinder wall cavitation. Oversize pistons are more or less a thing from history in terms of NH parts. I suspect the sleeving issue is the main reason.
Basically any reputable machine shop can bore and sleeve it with their sleeves... the finish the sleeve to spec. Wether you do that or go with a reman... is your call. I don't think you'd have any issues with a NH reman. The core charge would reflect what's left of your old one. You can obviously appreciate that if the block is cavitated in an area that is not repairable then they're not going to give you credit on the block...
Personally I'd build up the engine you have rather than go with a reman... but that's just me. Not that I'd be scared of the reman. Only the cost...
