Default +.7 pistons in a 200 block - is the block near the end of its day on that bore?

depends on what power you want they are good for 500bhp at .5over bore after that you could always do a nickasil liner job costs about Ł1600 then the sky is the limit .

Standard liners could also be used so not a throw away block IMO
