·I have a 428CJ block that is std. bore. It has no ridges/grooves. Cylinder walls are in good shape except for a "dusting of rust..no pitting. I was hoping to keep it std. with a cleanup honing..but the machine shop I took it to wants to do a .010 over torque plate hone. If I bore, here are my options:
1.) .010 over pistons..only available would be custom made and would cost $700+
2.) .020 over..only I have found are fed.-mogal and kb-silvolite..both only avail. in cast...no forged pistons available in this size...cost $215+
3.) .030 over. Many choices available..forged, etc...cost would be around $300 I think.
What would be the pluses and the minuses of each? What would you do?
Would the engine/car be more valuable with a bore as close to std. as possible? I don't plan on racing it..maybe once in a great while..mostly street driving.
