Rick, Have you tried contacting TRW to see what they would charge?Might be cheaper to just bore it to 60 over?

I have not as I am letting the builder handle it. I am starting to think that it is a lot cheaper to go .060 as well but I really hate to bore the block that big if I do not have to.

My engine builder said the same thing,..you're choice is .30 or .60 over. I'd hate to go that big, .60, unless the engine was really worn.

I believe Speed-Pro H118CP pistons are available in +.040.

They have a +.210 dome and make about 11:1 compression with a 100cc head.

At least that's what the catalog says.

Good luck; BCD.
