Try converting. 020 to mm, then see what you come up with. I doubt it's going .20 over.

Yea it’s going 0.020 over I found pistons im going with speed pro hypereutectic 50mm they have a 3.80inch bore 96.5mm bore but that is depending on their compression ratio

Ls7 lifters and tray are here, Melling high volume oil pump, arp head bolts all came today, waiting on pistons, main and rod bearings, pistons, cam and gasket kit hopefully engine will be together mid next week and we can drop it in and plug everything back in and have her fired up

New engine is in and she’s almost ready to home just add the exhaust

Can’t catch a break first the original motor lets go we get the new one in and running and the driveshaft is 3 inches too short and sticks out the transmission

You didn't have one made? Or, was somebody drinking when they measured?

Or did they change something crazy? However, that's a huge diff to be off 3 inches.

The gentleman I had do it was older he’s an amazing driveshaft and transmission builder I just think it was an honest mistake we measured it 10x at least the yolk is only in the rear of the trans prob 1inch so I need another $300 for a new driveshaft

 

[Elcaminogirl25]

Still waiting to scrounge up the funds for a driveshaft but it needs that and the exhaust work then work on paint and body

Got 700 miles on the car now got a little oil leak we think it’s coming from the rear main but it’s not super bad, trans shifts hard motor is strong next step is fixing some of these holes and paint had a cousin pass away in May and I was determined to get it running and driving in his memory and it’s a bad cat so far
