Just get an 1166 piston kit for it & do what you will end up doing down the line anyway! That will save you wasted money on EXPENSIVE stock rings! Ray.

You are like a little devil on my shoulder Ray

1166? I see mention of an 1168 here and there, what's a 1166 consist of? This is the biggest size I can bore the liners out to, right?

Looks like it would be a 10.25:1 after it's all done, how does that compare to stock? I suppose then I'd have to pop for the premium fuel at the pumps, haha.

Thanks for the input.

You'll really like the 1166 kit. Best bang for the buck.
I'm building a 1230 since I blew up two 1166 kits. Might as well go bigger!

Actually, 1166 is as big as you can go on a stock 1100 block but if you get an 1150 block, the same 3mm overbore will be a 1229!!! Ray.

Yeah.... let's stick with the 1166 for now. I think I'll make this work in the budget. It's only money, right?

I now understand my friend's saying, who races his Mustang: 'Drag racing makes a heroin addiction look like a distant longing for something salty...'

No more tear down tonight, I'm making up some homebrew beer instead. Besides, the longer I take to tear it apart at this point, the longer I can put off buying parts, right? hehe.

Thanks again for the advice, it is much appreciated.

I'm swapping out for an 1150 crank also.
Who makes 77mm pistons with an 18mm wristpin?

Shoot, I have two pistons bought kinda from you. I'll just sell these since I won't be using them on an 1166.

For the oil pump gear, I need one out of a 750E, right? I see the stock gear is a 33 tooth and the 750 is a 29 tooth, part number 16331-45000. Is there anything else that is needed to swap this over? Something I need to do to make sure it meshes with the drive gear?

Thanks.

Oh, that totally makes sense. Sheesh, it's too warm in the lab today or something, haha.

Looks like you can get both gears from partshark for about $10 cheaper overall.

Thanks!
