You'll probably have more money than...

...it's worth if you sleeve all the cylinders, but that would work fine. Personally, I would look to sell it to a drag racer who could fill the water jackets of the block with Devcon (not good for the street driving). However, it may be too thin for that -- depends upon *where* it is too thin.

You could then pick up a 428 or even 390 block. Yeah, it's not a 427, but you will have less problems in the long run. Of course if you have lots of cash, there is always another 427 block (sonic check it first) or even the Genesis block!

FYI, in my opinion 0.125 would be OK for use in a passenger car. But it's a moot point as Ford wouldn't have checked it anyway and would have dealt with it if/when it came back for warranty. Certainly Ford would not have cared about rebuildability, just getting the product out the door.

Is this for show, go or both? Maybe we can generate some better ideas for you here.

Regards,
Dan
