But yes, if the stroke is remaining the same (3.66 stock), it would have to be 4.125 bore.

No new pics, but block is back from the machine shop, which means Pete can really get to work now.

Do you have a projected date?

When it gets done?

Seriously though, probably another 1-2 months. I've got other items (coil overs, AC fix, gauge cluster rebuild, shifter install, shift light install and a few other items) that are being done too. Sucks not to have the car this long, but worth it to get as much done as possible at once. With entire exterior repaint and interior redo, the car will now be virtually complete restoration with all the engine work and other fixes.

Can't find the info now, but I believe we were talking 11:1 (or slightly over).

Looks nice ! Not sure what oil they told you to use to break it in , if they haven't , you might want to ask . A lot of builders use conventional oil, then after break in period, you can switch to synthetic . Its just builders preference !
