0.030 max for street car.
By James - 03/06/2002 7:56:25 PM; IP 152.163.204.188
I have always been told by Mike Duffy (Mike Duffy race cars in Moore Oklahoma), who has built and raced more 428s than I am years old, that .030 is the max on a street motor without having heat problems. I have aluminum heads on my .030 428 car with a high volume water pump and I am taking the thermostat out in the sumer just to keep the car at 195 degrees. You can still find these blocks around. If money is not an option and you want to keep it all together, you might sleeve the block and go back to standard bore with no heating problems. You can use a 66 truck block as well if you just want to go cheap. Hope this helps.
