| RE: max bore for a 427 |

If you can find pistons, you might be able to squeeze another .010 over bore. The cylinder walls will be very thin and you should have the block sonic tested before trying to do this. The next option would be to have sleeves installed in all 8 cylinders which is a bit expensive and requires a really good machine shop. If they scrap the block you will be out a lot of bucks.
I don't know if it's been done or if it can be done but, I would like to know if sleeves could be furnace brazed in place after installation. This would help to regain some of the rigidity of a std. block but would require a complete re machining of it to blueprint specs. Also a costly operation, not for anyone with a light wallet. |
