I will be picking up the block tomorrow and hang onto it until I decide what I want to do with the pistons. I was originally thinking of immediately boring the motor for .040 over pistons. A friend said not too because the block will crack with that much less cylinder wall. Anyone hear of this/have any experience with this? Until i figure this out i am going to take the motor back paint it up and start using it for mock up.
Whatever the case, I want to go big fuel with this motor of course, I am thinking Hybrid 400/150's. I'm still undecided what turbo setup to clean up all the fuel, but i definitely want compounds, twins, or trips. I think a big single will just be too smokey and hot.

I've ran .040 over blocks in the ranger. No problems. But I don't like going Any bigger than you have to. Then if you mess up a cylinder wall you don't have to get a new block or sleeve it. You can still go more. That's just my thinking tho.

The machinist was suggesting going bigger for power reasons. I like the way you think though, so long as a rod doesn't go blowing a hole in the block. That's good enough reason for me to leave it as is and start building.
