    bore is 3.875 you can get forged if you look around for them. standard bores are hard to find though. like my 283 i run standard bore 302 pistons mine is bored .125 over and anything STD is hard to find. i have 13:1 compression though nice big domes. i am not sure of the pin height right off the top off my head though.

    Block deck height = rod length + 1/2 stroke length + piston pin height + installed piston clearance (below deck)

    SBC is 9.025 deck height (correct me on this)

    Rod length is 5.7

    Stroke is 3.0

    Got a calculator?
