I have a complete 63 R1 long block that has rust damage from I guess rain water getting into it from an uncovered intake manifold. The cylinder walls are rusty above where the pistons are at rest. My plan is to do a performance build on it and I want to bore the bejesus out of it for maximum cubic inches. Is 304.5 as much as I can go without overheating concerns or is that even too much? Are there any ready made big bore pistons avaliable or is this a custom made piston only situation? I don't care about saving any wall thickness for a future rebuild since this is a spare motor. Are there head gaskets avaliable with a larger bore size? Oh,since my log on handle is stroker70,I should ask if anyone has done a stroked 289 in a semi low bucks way. (offset grind the crank,differnt rods,pistons with relocated pin heights ect.)
