" Andrew; read the thing about the 290 with 242 slugs.
" What year 242 works best, any mods needed to the 290
" block and what size did it end up as......Russ 

i recall him saying 309, so that would be std bore 242s.  i don't
recall asking him if they were oem or aftermkt slugs or which brand,
or if i did he didn't know.  that aside, i'm under the impression all
242s are alike, though not all brands.  the block was sonic checked to
ensure adequate wall thickness [plenty] and other mods but none
related to the slugs.

+0.060" 242s would net 319 cubes on a 290 crank.

i wonder if you could use a 290 crank and narrowed 4.0 rods [6.125"]
in a 304 block?
