Boring an iron block 6.0
Just wondering how much I can go. My long term plans for the rcsb involve a stroker engine. I'd really like a 427, but can't find any info on how much I can bore the 6l block. Is .060 unreasonable?

As a guideline, the guys at SLP say the Gen III block is only able to grow to 4.060 without a sleeve, so in this case, they'll leave you with at least two rebuilds by leaving the bore alone.
No matter which 6.0L block you use, don't plan on boring out it out more than .010?, because the cylinders are on 4.40? centers so the walls are pretty thin and the cylinders are so close together that head gasket sealing will become an issue, too.
