Indeed. Remember as of right now they are 4.250. More sizes to come. You guys are hearing about them waaaaaay early.
My bores are 4.125 but they will be a hell of a lot better than the monster Felpros that were on there.
One of the FE gurus told me that .040 to .050 larger than the bore is what he likes to use.
For a street engine you can be a bit more lax.

Marc many reps to you and your brother. I'd rep you, but apparently I'm still in rep prison. I hate when that happens.

My fridge is full, the beers are cold.

In the driveway, wooooohoooooo.

Thanks for the good tidings guys.
Forgot what a pretty motor she is.
Spent the morning redoing brackets for 3G, checking this and that and generally getting to know her again.
Gotta buy a gasket or two and a new ps pump.
Didn't like the last one, crappy rebuilt. A1 Cardone pos. Have to use the stock 60/70s style with this bracket system.
Also going to rip out entire fuel line and replace.
