Re: Overbored with block filler

Im no expert nor have I tried it, but I would think so...it probably depends on how much you fill the block.

Re: Overbored with block filler

I am thinkning about doing the half fill 'Street' version.

I guess the other question I have is;

What would the rwhp difference be between a 441 CID and 447 CID motor be with full intake and exhuasts mods? If it is about 10 rwhp, then I think I will go with the 4.125" x 4.125" route rather than the 4.155" x 4.125" route.

Re: Overbored with block filler

I would go with the 4.125.

Overbored with block filler

If I have a iron block resleeved, overbored to 4.155", and half fill it with block filler would it have enough stability to handle a 300hp nitrous shot? I know that a 4.125" overbore will handle the nitrous all day long. TIA.
