I had a set of 35" procomp muds and I loved them they are a great multi-purpose tire, in my opinion they are what an "all-terrain" should be.

today i ran into a huge roadblock in my motor rebuild..i thought that i could use my block and transfer good parts to it out of the other motor..problem is the block i blew up has already been rebuilt and was bored .030 over stock...so i cant use the pistons and rings from the donor..i looked at the other block thinking that it could be honed? out but the cylinders have to be bored because they have a .012 taper ..so the block is trash unless we bore it...my question is...does anyone have a set of pistons/rings/rods for a .030 bored over 345? a brand new set of pistons is going to cost a lot so im wondering if someone has a set that they have laying around or if anyone has a running 345 that i could pull out of a running truck or start before i buy it..any help would be great..i really want to get this thing on the road..thanx in advance
