Re: [FWDLK] Fw: 56 fury pistons

[richard main <shelldrakelimited@EARTHLINK.NET>]

I have three of these '56 V8-303 engines.  Two are definitely OK.  The third is stuck.  If I do bore it, I'll bore it 0.0937" oversize to 3.9062" and install standard V8-318 rings and pistons.  Seems better to go with a standard part in wide distribution.
