Bought an original owner 67 executive for the 400 for a GTO build that was missing an engine.
When we pulled the heads off and measured the bores most had worn over .047 and the block had to be machined to 60 over to clean. original std pistons to.
Same engine- the crank measured as new and just a micro polish took care of it.
