Re: 1972 charger engine build-up

If the bore is stock now, my suggestion is go for a .030 over bore, not .060.
The difference between .030 and .060 bore is about 6 cubic inches, which will not produce a noticeable power increase.
However, it will leave enough room for a second rebuild in the future, either by you (if you score a cylinder wall badly, etc) or someone else, if you sell the car in future. For that reason, IMO a .030 bored block is worth more than an .060 bore.
