Dan,
No I don't have Dan Lagrou's article on stroking the 215. I based all of my
plans,
so far, on the 1985 Hot Rod article with Phil Baker's chart of parts for
217 CI to 305 CI engines. I am opting for the 266 CI but wish to use the
300 heads
for better flow(top end) then the 4bbl Olds heads I have.
(Calls out Ford 260 Pistons 3.5 " +.030")
Where can I get a copy of Dan Lagrou's article?
Are the Chevy 2.8L V6 pistons available at 3.5 " +.030"?
