I have been doing this a long time. I do not have a bunch of micrometers. Just a 0" to 1" and a 3" micrometer and rarely use them.
No dial bore gauge either, but I will get one to check used bores....

What a fine effort for our old long dead engine.
Whatever keeps a LS out of a Pontiac is a good thing.
And no Pontiac with one of these would be lame.
The baddest LS in a Pontiac is always is.

Not sure what you mean. I had a 455 that had 165lbs cranking pressure that would run past that thing.
I am sure you can run 9.75 CR on a 455 with iron heads and get away with it.

Never had any heat issue with mounts. Everything I have ever heard about header wrap is to stay away from it. Unless you like rusted headers.

Run the 6X-4 heads. Just get the CR to 9.25 and you will be fine. A little insurance does not hurt. And the difference in power in 9.75 is not worth it IMO. Long time iron head pump gas guy here....

Thing is, Dan said I might hear the pistons before it...

Yes, filling them to the bottom of the water pump holes.
If you do it, get it done before you hone the block and its best to let it cure with a head-tq plate torqued down.

A 326 with a 60 lb pump is going to use the same amount of oil as a 455 with a 60 lb pump.

Now a long stroke engine will pull a very hard carb signal.
