I happen to like the lower cost of regular fuel.  So am quite happy
leaving the perfectly good condition stock pistons and stock bore in my
3.5L alone.  

>From what I've seen so far it seems to be pretty easy to build a docile,
torquey 3.5L engine into a gas guzzling, temperamental, overheating
monster.  Easy, but not cheap.

Course, once I get the car built and I get smoked by Honda Civics, I'll
probably change my tune.

But then there is always Fuel Injection and Supercharging.
