Hey Aussie, my buddy got his block bored .030 over and they installed flat top pistons but if I remember correctly they had a small dish in each one. Hope you'll keep us posted on how the rebuild goes. I'm kinda a motor head myself and am intrested in what you' re trying with your motor. My 170 Mercruiser is bored .040 over and the rest is stock. It has a hell of alot of torque out of the hole and great power to top end. It pushes the crap out of my V!
Ive seen pics of a 4banger built and put in a small dragster. It was awesome! One thing to keep in mind is when increasing compression theres more chance of blowing a head gasket. Ive got a 68 Camaro with a 383 chevy I built with 12.5 to 1 compression with a steel shim head gasket. Holds fine. I'd like ta see somebody install a blower or turbocharger on one of these motors! Good Luck!
