Can I get .040 over propane pistons? So I would have to run 91?

So if that cam, 1.84 and 1.6 valves, lump ports, 4 barrel and header will make a nice engine then I will do that. Just not sure on pistons.
If it was me I'd go with a .040 over set of Ross pistons...but those will put you out $620. lol

Another issue is the sealed power pistons are only available in a .030 over bore.

If you can't find pistons you can shave the block and head for more compression. I shaved the head on my 292 .030. Block you'd have to be more conservative with. Any particular reason why you have to go .040 over???
