[beshy642]

Hi guys I'm trying to decide what to do to my pinto bottom end I've already got a head with massive valves ect ect would I be best to bore it right out new rods and big forge pistons or stroke it any help would be great

[mickas]

Well what are you going to use it for?
What is your budget?
That will get the ball moving...

[beshy642]

I'm only after a fast road car nothing super crazy I've got about 3000 to spend

[Danny M]

Will you be doing the machining and assembly

[beshy642]

A mate will be for no cost haha

[Danny M]

Thats the case then $3000 will still not get you far with capacity as it should get you a clutch, rods, pistons and rings and gaskets

[beshy642]

So best to stick to standard bore ect?

[Danny M]

Go .030-.040" but don't expect big increases in capacity without a big crank

[mickas]

Is that what you did Danny?

[Danny M]

Yeah sort of
