Reboring a small block V8

[pasini s]

Dear friends,

the block of my 409 is at the machining shop (is it the correct term?) now, waiting to have the bores remachined to fit the new +.030" pistons that I bought in USA. The shop asked only today if I can find the measures of the tolerances prescribed for this kind of job on this engine, as the Bristol workshop manual, apparently, does not give too many exact measures about it. if they had told me before....

I have bought the Plymouth Fury 318 workshop manual on CD this morning but it will take 1-2 weeks to arrive and I would like to see the work going on. So, if anyone has some measures that I can give to those guys, I would really appreciate the help. Thank you!
