mahles run into some serious $ when you get into the 3.2+ size. Anyone try the replated cylinders from ebs or others? Are they a long term reliable solution for a street car, or is it better to bite the bullet and sink 3.5k+ for the real deal? TIA

Yes and no. It all depends on the history of the cylinders in question. If any have been overheated, the replated cylinder (or cylinders that were overheated) most definately will not hold up as well as new ones. There are some individuals who I have spoken to off of Pelican who have experienced this first hand. Truely the only way to know if a cylinder has been overheated is to rockwell the cylinder in a few critical locations and compare the figure to what the other cylinders are and also to a new one for a baseline if possible, although not totally necessary.
