I'm still in the planning stages of my build, and what Tim's done with his FED Project as got me thinking a little bit outside the parameters of a "normal" y block rebuild. Initially I was planning on building a wicked little motor by boring my 272 to a 292 and running performance parts on her.



Now I'm wondering what it would take to sleeve my motor, and run with a 4 inch bore, and the stock 312 crank stroke. It would take the displacement up to 344. I just have never "planned" a project like this before and really would appreciate a little sage wisdom.



My questions would be what pistons could I use? 302's are a 4 inch piston. Would that be an option?



What about rods? I'd prefer to find something that doesn't have to be custom built for boo-koo bucks. Any ideas on what might work?



I want to make sure the rod length works with DH, CH, and stroke to come out at about 0 deck clearance. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, the Dawg
