Or you could also just not bore it as much...

You did say it wasn't going to be an all out racer?

IMHO there's nothing wrong about 292 CI. I think pistons are cheaper and easier to find as well.

But I'll leave it up to the experts.

If you are looking at 1 or 2 cylinders that are thin consider sleeving those cylinders. Cost Vs benefit analysis. With a 3.8 bore you are pretty much at an end with this block, maybe you might want to find a 292 block.

Bing,

Looks like #2 is the thinnest, but the others on the pass. side could work if the boring bar was pushed a little to the front and inside.

Results are in on my 272.  Currently at a .030 over 272 3.65" and looking to go to a 312 3.8".  Machince shop prefers at least .125" after bore and is pushing me towards just doing a 292 3.75".  They were most concerned with the passenger side at .184" and the concern of hitting a water pocket.  Attached is the sheet below for veiwing and recomendations.  Truck will not be a racer but don't not looking at having to pamper it either just becuase its a 312.  Thanks Bing
