Stripping anodize can be easily done with oven cleaner (sodium hydroxide), make sure you wear gloves and have cold water for rinsing. Of course, when you strip you will lose material. If the bore is coated i would recommend it be masked off from stripping or you might find it a bit loose.
have you considered leaving the hard coat on the ribbed areas and polishing the outer areas?

I've been subscribing to this thread for quite awhile now and I say wow, good work, and thanks for all the useful info and pics. However, damn this thing needs an index.
I'm sure it would be a great deal of trouble and I would understand if you didn't want to spend the time but...
What about starting individual threads for each topic. Example, 8-rib conversion thread, Trans install thread, motor thread...............
Hope I don't get flamed for this.
