.030 is standard and you'll need a complete gasket kit and oil pump and cam if you decide to swap at this time..new timing chain....and once machine shop determines it needs a bore of .030...then buy pistons so they can match bore to pistons and matching rings to pistons and you can reuse your stock rods...and can have them reconditioned if desired

it would be like having a brand new engine, and with the trickflow topend kit, youll be making decent power
why a 75shot? most ppl start with 100shot, and work there way up, from what ive heard the STOCK parts can handle 100shot pretty easy, and ive seen quite a few dyno's where a 150shot jumps HP by 100hp! (in most cases )
GOOD LUCK
and keep us updated on your build!

yeah. the only real shop is south austin machine shop and i've heard good things as well as bad things so i really don't know. if all else fails i'll go there. but i wish houston was closer cuz i heard there are hella good shops there. yeah man i might take you up on that offer. i'm the exact same way about not knowing things and figuring them out. pm me. like i said i'll probably rip it down next weekend or the weekend after that. i had wrist surgery yesterday so i'm swollen as hell. (who knos why i keep typing it freekin hurts) and hope it goes down by next week when parts get here

RE: bore to 306
Sounds like fun. I need to find a shop somewhere close to get my GT40 heads cleaned up but I don't have the cash to play with it right now so I just tweak things here and work what I can to play with my car. I am getting ready to rebuild a buddies POS SRT4 motor because he doesn't know what he is doing and he thinks he does and I am gettin $200 for it. Not a bad deal. I work cheap lol. Just bought a house, have 2 car payments, an 9 month old daughter and a wife with Army pay doesn't leave alot of room for playinglol
