Well guys I decided I'm going to just do a stock rebuild (with some torque monster headers if I can find a set in time) and had a few questions. First question is how far can I bore the stock block over? I figured since I'm doing it I may as well get a few extra cubes out of it even though I won't even notice it. I see pistons for sale at 60 over, can these blocks even go that far without risk of overheating or cracking a cylinder wall?
Here are the parts I'm looking at for my 96 and want to be sure I'm not overlooking something. Can anyone confirm these are the correct parts I need for my rebuild? Also is there is anything I'm overlooking that I should also replace or change/upgrade? I plan to have the crank polished/checked, rods checked, and a valve job done on my heads. Debating having them decked as well to maybe up compression a hair too.
