Wow...what an answer! I think you own the Red-B, right? My block is .040 over and is a new rebuilt short block I got many years ago and never did anything with it.

My intentions were using a 70-B, 4spd that I have now. But it needs a resto. I was thinking of buying an average driver car and doing a switch.

Ironically, my buddy a few blocks away has a 70-B thats 5k original miles. It was hit when new and sat all these years. Its an F5 red, black C-stripe, column shift, bulge hood, post car. We were looking over the motor during tear down and the pistons are way down. He pulled the pistons out before I got to measure the depth. Everything is so nice inside, we're just doiong rings only on the short block and reusing everything but the oil pump, fuel pump, and water pump.

Thanks for all the info!

What are your times?
