I want to share some links with the rest of you.

I use Flatlander's site to look for pistons. From home page, use the index on the left side to choose what you're looking for. Here's the TRW index for a 350 Chevy, stock rod, long rod, stroker, etc. showing chamber sizes and resultant c.r.

Here's how I set up the intake manifold/cylinder head interface to prevent vacuum leaks from the crankcase to the head ports....
Measure the thickness of a new intake manifold gasket. Get flat washers or shims that will measure that thickness. With the manifold off and the mating surface on the cylinder heads de-greased, put a dab of RTV on them and stick them on each corner bolt hole on the cylinder head. Let the RTV set up. Stuff paper towels into the ports to keep debris out. Make up 16 pea-sized balls of modeling clay. De-grease the intake manifold at the ports. Place the balls of clay on the top and bottom of each port, squishing them down well so they will stay in place. You want them to be thicker than the shims/washers that are RTV'd to the heads. With your fingers, coat a little oil on the heads where the clay will meet the head to keep it from sticking to the head. Now carefully place the manifold into place on the heads and use bolts on the four corners to just snug the manifold down until you feel resistance against the shims/washers. Remove the manifold carefully and mesure the thickness of the clay at all 16 positions with the depth function end of your 6" dial caliper. You'll know pretty quickly if the manifold/head interface is square. Record the measurements on the manifold with a permanent marker like a Sharpie. The widest measurement will be the standard to which you will want your machinist to cut the other positions on the manifold to make it square with the heads, thusly sealing the motor up.

Excellent information there!! Kudos to you.

Shoot Richard, if the information from you guru's get's any more built up, I'm gonna hafta go to the store and make my wife really mad and buy another comp. (I'd rather spend it on some horsepower...tuff decision)

Great links, thanks for sharing......
