I posted awhile back about finding a "mexican" block. The bad news is that It will not take a .040 pistion, and needs to be .060 The sonic test came back good. Is there a company that makes .045 overboar forged piston's? I rather stay below .060 If I can. I am building a 331. Any comments welcome.

Is overboared like a big pig?>


If you are now .060 overbored are you still building a 331?

I would though it in the trash unless you plan on just racing it. Just me

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
