Help with engine build!!! :)
Help with engine build!!! :) Need something cleared up, im getting mixed signals from a couple of different people. I bought a block from someone on here, and it was supposed to be clean honed to 3.907. I have been doing some research adn it seems like thats way too much? Im also having an issue finding pistons to fit. Some are 3.908 but i dont think i want to get any more out of it. So give me your opinions please! Thanks!
Here's the thread with engine pics! First pic is the block! Thanks!

Mahle makes a few pistons for larger over bores than normal and so can Diamond for a small charge extra as we do them all the time. Generally a shop hones the block FOR a set of pistons not just to whatever they want though? Do you KNOW exactly what the bores are at and if so PM me as we can get you a piston to fit but the selection drops a LOT when you are outside of a standard bore size.
When the block gets here ill get an exact measurment. I it still safe to run if it us a 3.907 bore? Yeah I know they usually hone to the pistons, but i got the block for a good price, so I figured I would make something work. I'm just getting used to this aluminum block stuff. Thanks for thr help!
