Why a std bore? from the sounds of it you wand some decent power, so why not bore the block so you have a straight round hole to start with?
 
Having the block checked. It is clean bore, cross hatched. If I can stay std I will. If it needs .020 it will. I'll be starting with a round hole :).
 
Got going on the interior. Have to start pulling up sound deadening now and tearing down the dash to make a skin. Got the pass. door tar free and stripped.
