However, I just got the call. "No parts available". He found some .60 over pistons for $700 but hates to do it cause they only need to go .30 over. Basically trying talk me out of it with a $2000 parts only cost so far. Figure it would total about $4k all in.

Anyway, I already knew the 'no pistons' thing was coming due to the awesome folks on this board that have already run that down. I hadn't been paying that close of attention to the rest of the stuff. My desperate plea is 'does anyone have a source(s) for engine parts'? If I can't get that bill down to something I can sneak past the wife, I'll have a 305A for sale pretty soon and I'll be stuck throwing in a 350

Existing pistons are in good shape? Can't resort to cylinder sleeves in order to use std. bore pistons??
