Im rebuilding my 302 and I need it to go back ASAP.My old block was .060.I ended up getting another block thats being machined right now.Iv already got the piston rings but for the .060 pistons.Im gonna have to bore the cylinders so Im wondering if I should just bore it out .060 and use the old piston or just break down and buy some new pistons for a .030.I can trade the rings back in for the size I need.Im running out of money for this so thats why Im in a bind or else I would just buy some new pistons.Any ideas?If I do have to end up buying new piston then does anyone know a good cheap set thats .030?Or .030 pop up"s(id like to have more compression).Thanks for any info.

A .060 overbore is a bit much unless you have an early block. A .030 is a better choice for any block you have.
