Ray,
I know what you are talking about. You lift the stock cylinder block off the motor, remove the pistons, add the new pistons, then bolt the new block on. But as a general desription you are overboring the motor, as you are going above the 1298cc that the stock motor puts out.
Nothing personal, I've always wanted a turbo, and I've heard lots of horror stories about big block/big bore applications. This could be due to the people who are fitting them talking short cuts or not doing what they are supposed to do. If I was going to go big block I would probably look at 1464cc or I would go a stroker kit since the turbo will give me the top end rush, and stroking the motor will give me torque down low where the turbo wont help.
Hope that has sufficiently drilled the pumpkin out. Otherwise there's always Militec Regards
