352 Overbore ?

Just wondering if a .010 overbore on the block will require new pistons..It's probably in the book but its been eating at me for hours LOL
Also anyone have a general idea of cost for this overbore(only) ? TIA

yes any overbore will require new pistons. is it stock now? i would bore it to .030 its the easiest to find rings and pistons for. but you could also bore to 4.05 and make a 390 with new crank and rods. A new bore will run you 330.00+ plus about 300.00 in pistons.

If you need .010 you may as well go bigger on a 352. You will need new pistons. Anything beyond a two or three thou clean up will.
