besides....60 over. the 350's get kinda weak at that point. (i know that the statements is asking for a flame war.)

wtf, dont ever compare me to some jacka$$ that says a 400 cant be bored. i never said that a 350 cant go 60 over, in fact many racers start with an engine 60 over to get the extra cubes. just for me; im going to build an engine that will withstand 100 thousand miles and i dont wanna have to worry about it, so im starting with a standard bore and only going 30 over. if i was going to be **** about boring an engine and wanted it the strongest a seasoned block can be i would only bore it 10 over. dont assume or talk out of your a$$, it'll only **** people off.

i agree with demon, i would never bore a 350 block out .060

I think I recall ede saying that would be an extreme limit on a thread to but don't quote me on that.. and i'm not siding with anyone, but 88 350 tpi formula, i don't recall demon saying anything about a 400 block at all...

cheers
