You will have 353 cubic inches, with a stock crank.

what i looking at is the block is out of an 1986 k10 4x4 so the alterantor is going to be reloacted to the passager side i don't think this will be very hard what is involded in it?

Re: buildin an 350
 

If I understand the first post, you're at 1400 plus dollars for this buildup. You'd be easier and cheaper to buy a new 4 bolt main 350 crate engine for 1300 dollars with a warranty.

BTW, the compression specs listed are for 64cc heads, the 86 model core you have will have 76 cc heads, so bank on a lower compression ratio.

You can't bore the engine till you get your pistons in hand. First, your machinist will evaluate your block to determine what oversize you'll need to bore too. Then, you have to get the pistons for that oversize. Your machinist will want to mic the new pistons so he gets the bore dimensions in proper tolerances. Never trust a machinist that will just bore one to 4.020 or whatever you ask for without already having the new pistons in hand.
