I talked to Branden at horsepowerfreaks, and he told me they were 84 stock, so I went with that. 86 is a very common size cause lots of people bore the block when they rebuild them. I did have the head machined, but with the engine in the car, kinda hard to have that machined... I'll just do the best I can with a piece of machined steel and some good sand paper.

thanx for the info about the bore size. im in the same situation as you are about the head gasket. i pulled out my head cost me 400$ to machine and 3angle valve job. my block looks good and the pistons are like gold inside no ridge, so i decided to leave the block and just clean it. but im not sure if the metal head gasket will seal any small scratches.bc when you mahcine it you get back a smooth finish then itll seal. so i ddint want to risk it so im going with copper head gasket.if you have any advice let me knw.

if you do it safe it wouldnt. but you cant pound it like a turbo engine. u need turbo inectors,lower compression, good fuel at all times.i would just go with the turbo motor to be safe and lose money at the end.
