I gotta agree with George here... it will take some serious work around to make these work the way you want.

I don't think milling the heads to get to 60cc will cause you any problems, but they will become weaker for real extreme boost and power. Get yourself some wiseco -11's or something and call it a day. Can you sell the pistons for more than you are into them for?

I'm prolly just gonna buy a set of wiseco 4.030 -9cc or -11cc .945 pistons and call it a day... Run them with a set of genIV rods and arp bolts...

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem getting what I have in them back... I think they're at a real good price

Do you not have the rotating assembly? If you were limiting yourself with stock rods, a stock piston is fine. I'm building a stock LY6 now with gapped rings. It should be plenty strong for what I want to do. What are your power goals?

Yes I do, but I have to bore it at least 0.010 over to clean up one of the cylinders.. I'm just wanting to see around 7-8 at the wheels. Does a company make stock Pistons .010, .020, or .030 over?

Open that sucker up .030 and put some forged wiseco pistons with forged scat rods and be done with it like i did on mine. My 370 with 70cc heads is at 9.8CR.

This is more than likely what I'm gonna end up doing... Might as well spend a few hundred more and put some nice rods in it too! I think I'm gonna do the 80e swap and keep the 5.3 in there for a little longer, until I get done with the ly6
