(Old F--t, Huh)

My only other comment is: If your original block will clean up at .030 or .040 over, I wouldn't go .060 WIZE World's Quickest Diahatsu Rocky (??) 414" Stroker Small block Mopar Powered. 10.84 @ 123...and gettin' quicker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mWzLma3YGI In Car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjXcf95e6v0

I know there's debate on that. But friend bought a 528 kit from Ray Barton... had a knurled seal area... maybe Barton knows a thing or two.

I would at least bore it .010. no idea.. was out of car for like 25 yrs while it had a 440 in it.. prob go .030 unless i can get pistons readily with less overbore..but i doubt i will be able to..time will tell
