Hmmm . . .

Since I just discovered that my (former) machine shop misinformed me when it told me my 1973 455 block had to go .040 over, and now it turns out I must go .060 over, but I already have .040 over pistons (that I ordered after relying upon my -former- machine shop, groan) . . . .

Can a 400 block go to a 455 .040 over?
