396 bore over
Can A 396 big block be bored over to 427-454 bore size? the bore on a 396 is 4.094 and 427-454 bore is 4.250, is the cylinder wall thick enough?

In street or prolonged use I doubt it would last. Buttttt I did get away with it in a circle track alky motor several years ago,had no other choice at the time and it lasted a season and half before it got a hairline crack in one cylinder.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
