I'll bet there would be thin spots, to say the least. In all seriousness though, I've read about these engines being bored quite a lot. If someone wanted to spend the money to have it sonically checked or just bore huge and re-sleeve, a 327 Chevy V8 piston can be used I think. Then to increase the stroke length, you do an offset grind on the crank and use a custom connecting rod. Here we are joking about 43 cubic inches but I'm pretty sure I've seen documentation on race engines showing 41.xxx (??) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 11,023 #10 Posted October 24 A k341 is 3.75” and a Chevy 327 is 4.00” so only need a 1/8” per side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 74,925 #11 Posted October 24 I'm kind of wishing I had a reason to try this even though I don't need to. But then again why not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
