Need opinions on over bore options
By Eli - 03/23/2001 3:20:13 PM; IP 216.68.184.163
I have a 428CJ that is std. bore. It is a clean block that will need no more than a .010 over bore. Problem is..no one make a .010 over piston. Here are my options: .
1.). 010 over 428 piston custom made cost approx. $700
2.) .020 over cast piston from fed.-mogal or kb-silvolite no forged, etc. avail. in a .020 over..cost approx. $215+
3.) bore the block .030 over and pick about any piston I want...forged are readily available...I think cost would be around $300 (trw, etc.)
What would be the pluses and minuses of each? Would the engine/car remain more valuable with the least amount of overbore I can get by with?
I bought the block because it was a std. bore in good shape. I kind of hate to hog it out to .030.
This thread, so far...

 you don't need forged. The cast pistons should do -- Walker, 03/23/2001
