Default Couple of 370 q's?

What can be expected from a buget 370? I'd like to slap some pistons on to my stock rods and crank. Both the rods, crank, and block have surface rust and will be creaned prior to installation (obviously). The crank will be polished as well.

My concern is, how reliable can I expect this to be with my heads and cam with spray? Heads are heavy P&P, cam is 232/236 600ish 113.

I have no experience with re-using stock internals and do not want to put money into a future pile of metal shavings. Reason for me being a cheap bastard is because I'm building a motor that will take my money, and will also take me a long time. And in the meanwhile I still want to spank the local f-bodys as usual.

I built a .020 over 6.0. I've posted pics and part No. . . . tear it down. Have a machine shop check it out. If you're getting new pistons, then you need to have them re-balance it again.

it might be, but im sure you can contact the seller and make sure you get the 4.00 bore piston, since it said "3.898" Bore (see chart below for available bores)
Used with stock 3.662" and 4.00" stroke (see chart)"
