I said it early in this thread and I will say it again, .070 over with a stock 454 GM block is just asking for cracked cylinder walls

There are a lot of .100 over 505's out there that don't agree with you, Big Steve. I'd bet they're probaby not leaning on them that hard,though


Organized people are just too lazy to look for their $h!t.

I've got a .070 over 454 in my Vega, but the block is poured to the bottom of the water pump holes.

I cracked 2 blocks that were bored .070 and larger but neither were filled with concrete. I bought a Dart big M block that was originally 4.350 and later 4.600 and still running that same block 13 years later. Not filled either

I bet your machinist loved boring that 1/4” out of that block.

I ran a old 289 casting stock block at .125" over with a 1/4" stroke crank for about 6 years never cracked a cylinder ended up with cracks in the deck then went to a dart block

And we wonder why schools are at the bottom of the list for math.

Bubba engine science:
if you bore a block far enough the ensuing flex will allow the block to move and not crack.

454 block + .100 bore (not filled) with a .250 stroke crank, = 506 in the motor home I tow with for 7+ years no problems.
