maybe I'm out of the loop here but the stock sleeves can't support .020 bore?

what happens if you've got a 60K motor and you decide to go forged?

Looks like it's going to be sweet, but what made you pull the motor from the top.

edit: doesn't look like you have a lift.

oh yea, that's a real stockish build then. You won't even notice the extra displacement from the bore since it's such a small difference. Let us know how the car holds up.
