Overbore Price?
I'm looking to rebuild my L98 in the summertime, and I just wanted to know how much you guys paid to get your engines bored over. I'm looking at something slight, like a .010 or a .030...im just doing a rebuild so I dont wanna do an .050 or an .060 because the gains are so slight its not worth it to go that far, imo.

Wow....never realized you were just over in Hamilton.
I would ask around for local machine shops (I use a guy I know down in Florence). Have the block bored only as far as it needs to go to clean up the wall, that way you have room to bore it again some day if it needs it.
Check out my site, www.njfboa.org for other thoughts from local F-body guys here in Jersey....

Just do 0.030 over. Cheap and available pistons. That is unless you have to go 0.060 to clean it up.
I understand about not overboring so you can rebuild again, but look at it. What are the odds that you will own it, and matching numbers is not that important in a camaro. Vette, or some old original one maybe...
