how much do i have to bore a 6.0 iron block to make it a 370ci will i have to re-sleave it? and with some forged 11.0:1 pistons will a thunder racing 224 cam on a 112 be a good cam to go with or maybe a custom grind cam
thanks

as far as the cam question...you can go bigger than that in a 370

 

6.0 liter block bored .030 will be 369 ci. I'd go with a bigger cam than that.

You can go with a .060 overbore in a 6 liter iron block. That will give 375 cubic inch.
However the weight penalty will outweight the Hp gains IMO. A good heads and cam package will dyno about 15RWHP and 20RWTQ less but you also have 75 pounds less weight to move.

There are a lot of .030 and .040 setups out there, some .060's like mine, and I have only read of one .080 setup.

Weight difference is 65-70lbs, but the potential is there for a cheap big bore motor.
