Re: Building a motor, where to start?

You bore the block to the pistons you buy, rather than buying pistons to the bore.

Decide what heat range you are building the motor for, buy .020 over pistons (if it's a true stock block), calculate your PWC based on the metal alloy expansion calculated from your intended heat range, then have Gosh bore to that spec.
