Upgrading 420a

[Misuta Yancha]

so if I were to do the work myself... I would bore out all the defects then use a snap guage or something to that effect to figure out what size piston I will need?

Boring isn't something you can do yourself unless you happen to have very specialized and expensive equipment. Some people either own or work in machine shops, and unless you're one of them, you'll be taking your block to a machinist to get this work done. It usually doesn't cost more than $150-$200 to get the standard shortblock treatment done at a reputable shop. They'll handle all the precision work and let you know what size pistons you need.

So how's this one coming along? Curiousty is getting me, i'm working on building mine. My biggest questions is how you're gonna do the wiring.

He hasn't posted since April so I am thinking he might have given up/ put this build on hold... Or maybe he is just lurking the forums and reading so he doens't end up wasting his money (what he should be doing :-p)

Yea, that's what i'm doing, hah, so much info on here I'm spending like 8 or 9 hours a night researching, running figures, etc. I'm afraid to post a thread yet I've been reading up to make sure before i start asking opinions and help.
