what are your thoughts on a 434 motor?
I am looking at a car that has a 434 6.0 litre motor, and it makes killer power. Is there anything I should know about this kind of motor? What are your thoughts on it?

As long as it's built right with the right parts, you shouldn't have problems. That being said, when you run a motor on ragged edge, there's always the possibility of breakage. What heads and cam are being used? How many miles on it? Was it broke in correctly? Good luck.

i'm interested to know on the bore/stroke also. if they used a 4.125" stroke it would have to be bored .090" over.
a .060" is a 427 and i would consider that much overbore leaving the walls pretty thin. hmmmmmm.....
