RE: What the heck you wanna overbore the thing for?

Dave Shoe,

I have a 1967 390 Cast C7MEA. It has been OBed 60. I am concern about over heating. I have noticed that the 428 has the same casting number and is bored stock to 4.13. The 390 would be 4.05 + 0.06=4.11.

I tried the drill bit test on the front two core plugs. On one side, a 15/64 drill-bit would not go through. A 7/32 bit barely past in between the cylinders. On the other side, the 15/64 bit would only pass at the top of the cylinder. It would not penetrate between the cylinders at the center or below.
What does this tell me about the wall thickness and do you think I will have a problem with overheating?
Thanks in advance.
This thread, so far...
