340 for Cruising and Fun 1/4 mile Passes

If you have pistons in the 4.070 bore size, hone the block to 4.078 for all the holes.

Send your pistons to Line2Line coatings and have your pistons coated. They will end up running at .0015-.0020 clearance and they won’t stick or rock.

Last set of pistons I had coated were 320 plus shipping.

I’d rather run used, coated pistons than uncoated new pistons.

I'm curious your thoughts on the OP's proposed combo. Any concern about the 8.23:1 dynamic compression ratio with iron heads and a pretty wide quench distance (0.051") on pump gas?
