What will the 5.5 head (high compression I assume), do for us? We're trying to learn as we go, so some of this is a little over our heads. The head on it looks like it is an original on the car and doesn't look like it's ever been bored. Are you saying we could just go ahead and bore the block for the .040 pistons and just leave the cracks? It's not going to be driven but around in our area - no long driving.
