LA 318 advice

George Jets said

You can put good used 9.2:1 cr pistons in it if your bore is still good, with new rings > good to go.

Can even use the used stock rods that come with the used pistons, so you don't have to press the 9.2:1 pistons onto your stock rods.

Well, the block is freshly (25 years back) bored .030. So a stock piston won’t help it there. Seems CH on the LA and newer engine is the same. The difference I can dig up is the LA. Use 9.6 deck height ( spec’d) and the newer are 9.50? As I recall. I think that and closed chamber heads yield the 9.2 SCR.
Unless I’m mistaken?
