We found two bores that won't clean up enough to run standard bore pistons on the Imperial's 440. It's time to bore it.

I made the mistake of buying pistons based on the opinions of the last shop that had the block. They're hanging on the rods already.

Now, I get to buy pistons again.

Knowing that I want as much torque as possible but want to keep some sort of mpg, I'm fighting the question of going with a long arm on the 440.

Again, 5300 lb car built for road trips. 3.23 gears, 28.5" tall tires, and a 727. I do have a 518 and Ultrabell for an ID swap.

So, what do you folks think?

We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.
