Thank you gentlemen for all your time and suggestions.
I've been and am still kicking this over. It seems my most logical options are:
Cheapest: Have the block milled .030-.035 $180.00 locally and knowing I'll likely have to have any intake I use milled and any future build on this block will require custom pistons
Not as cheap but probably the wisest: Order some new/custom pistons (Paul K) with the higher compression height and a .990 pin and hope I can get them weight matched.
Another thought: Buy a set of BBC 6.660 .990 pin rods and have my crank turned down to a 2.20 BBC journal and have it rebalanced though I'm not thrilled of cutting a rare 990 forged crank that much
Last idea: See if somebody wants to trade their Eagle .980 Pontiac rods for my Eagle .990 Pontiac rods and I'll match off the shelf the pistons by weight the best I can and likely re-balance...
What a headache!!
