Actually once bored to 98", with the proper compression, you will traditionally/historically increase fuel economy

Hey Scott are you around same pricing for 107? And is that with no cams?
Turning into a build thread. Here are my first couple days stages down to the boxes then to the cylinders:
The only real notable tip I have is you will want the s shaped allen wrench for the right side throttle body bolts: http://www.homedepot.com/p/InSinkEra...N-00/100135761 they are a pain to reach and having more angles get to them in that tight space helps.
By the suggestions both on the thread and in my head I am also having the same shop bore the cylinders out to 3.975 to fit the pistons that djl suggested and targeting that 10.08/9.35:1 ratio. Will be taking the cylinders and pistons off this week.
Suggestion on packing the heads: put a piece of cardboard between the mouting surfaces and set them in the box that way with the chambers facing each other.
