Re: 1956 Chevy Pro-Street Build

The ongoing saga of the engine build..... this is tiring.... so the shop finally got off their ass and mic'd the cyl bores only to find they are 'big'. So I need to get bigger pistons no matter what if I am going to 'freshen this thing up'. pistons are already at .006" over and the hone will bring it to .008" over and thats just too much piston slap for something I could be forcing 30 lbs of boost into..... so new pistons are coming in a 4.53 size. That will give me 516 CI

Getting a little bent outa shape at this point, just wasting time.... smoke 'em if ya got 'em!!!
