RE: Need opinions on over bore options By mike - 03/30/2001 11:48:30 PM; IP 12.87.104.120 we have sonic tested dozens of FE blocks and can safely say don"t do anything until you get the block sonic tested...we have had "standard" blocks sonic test too thin to even keep standard...many blocks need to be offset bored and/or sleeved in order to get any decent cylinder wall thickness..in any case use the smallest overbore piston you can get regardless of the cost as it's truly a false sense of economy to save $400 on pistons just to have the cylinder wall crack and destroy a typical $4,500. rebuild project. just my .02 from mike at ctmar.

This thread, so far...
