block over boring

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know everyone will!  :)  but wouldn't
overboring a PL block and paying for this kit be more $$ unnecessarily spent
than starting with 9A and just getting the 83.5 mm pistons and having the
existing block components balanced?

Doesn't the 9A block itself have a little more "meat" on it as well to bore
into?

Jeff (still trying to keep straight the most cost-effective way of doing
things)
