RE: Ooooo, ya sure that was a 427 block...

I am positive it is a 427. I checked the numbers, it is cross bolted, and there is no doubt. What should the minimuim cylinder wall thickness have been from the factory? I agree with your calculation of .065 + (.060 over bore) = .125! Would Ford have let this motor out the door at .125 or is there something more seriously wrong with this block? The reason it is bored 60 over is because it was built up as a drag motor in the early 70's. It dropped a valve after one run down the strip and has not been messed with since. The guy that built the motor was interested in max cubic inches! I want no heating problems and max reliability now for my street rod. Would you sleeve this block back to standard and run it in a street rod? I am just trying to figure out the next logical step. Thanks.

Josh
