It's .063
3.875 for the 103
3.938 for the 107
=.063

sure wouldn't be any metal left if it was another .100 over bore to get to 107

well that is even better .063"
The reason, that this question came about is because
someone told me that a 103 piston o/s +.010" would
give me a 107". I can see now that he was wromg.
Thanks guys

According to my calculator a 103 is actually 103.309ci and +.010 will give you 103.843ci, which is not enough to get excited about!

exciting?, no. But you could round it off and tell everybody you have a 104. Then sit back and watch them browse the internet for a 104 kit.

Telling the guy he is as full of it as a
thanksgiving turkey is the only part
to get excited over. no way would I
spend 300+ dollors on bigger jugs and
pistons for a 107 much less a 104. I'm
getting tighter with my money than
dicks hat band
