Got ripped off. Looking for a new idea for the inside of the engine. Stroker maybe?

I'll throw this out there as i don't see it refuted when mention above...

you do NOT drop a block off at the machine shop and say "bore it .030 over" and then go out and purchase your pistons at a later date, after you have the block back. Aftermarket pistons are typically oversized .001-.005 (from publisher bore) and you then match the finish hone to those specific pistons. You should drop off the block WITH your desired pistons, so they can me bored/finish honed properly, to the correct size.
