Chat/topicless thread...
well it works great in the missouri forum and i was too late to post the june chat thread there... so i'll try it here and i'll start off...
well i tore into my 351 project and MIGHT have stumbled onto a problem.... the pistons are .030 overbore and with the ridge at the top of the cylinders we're probably gonna have to cut another .010 more.... so here's our first topic on the first topicless thread... is .040 overbore a safe way to go with a performance (not racing but definately not bone stock) motor that will be almost a daily driver... it will occasionally be used as a work truck but only for fairly light loads... i'm not gonna remake the fast and the furious here in blue eye with it, but i'm gonna spin my tires with it every now and then and smoke a ricer or two... but nothing too aful serious... here's a link to it's thread and a handful of pictures.... took a few of the bare block today and should be up in this thread sometime...

I was serious.
Potatoes, oil, salt and a plastic bag. Roughly $3.50 for 12 ounces.
What a rip off.

Stosh, i'd be careful being as you you live in the land of UTZ... That's like questining why the price of gas went up 20 cents/gal in the last month, might get you an unexpected visitor at your door!

well if were questioning the price of things, why am I paying more than 4 dollars for a bottle of water at disney world?
they bring in so much money each day, you would think that they could cut that cost in half...

hittman, I'm building a 351W too and everything I have read says .040" over will be fine but .060" over is risky.
I've torn apart three 351W now and finally found a good virgin block! Can't wait to start putiing it back together.
