agreed .20 over, if u dont want to have to worry about it, the cylinder walls would be very thin if u go with .40 over.....loosing dependability
thas wat I was worried about, thas why I was wonderin if they have cylinder sleeves. cause I wanted to bore mine to .40 over too but I've noticed alot of ppl's pistons goin thru the wall

no i just work....ALOT

i won my cams off of ebay last nite......crane #14 cams......
yesterday morning i ordered the pistons, rods, and rings too....so hopefully i will have them soon enough..
i think im gonna start ripping my motor out sunday so i can bring it to the shop..

i got my pricing on the block motor work:
remove and replace the pistons, freeze plugs, resurface the head, balance the crank, complete reassembly, bore/hone, pressure check block and head, hot tank it all, and a 3 angle valve job on the head.....$800.00
im hopeing to drop off the block mid-next week
