Hi Rick !

I just realized your engine is .070 over and that made me think about a .060 over CE 396 that I have. My CE block has some scratches so I canīt use it as it is. Would .070 over be the absolute maximum size on a 396 block or can it be bored even bigger ? Iīm not sure .070 would be enough on my block, and thatīs why I ask.

Hi Anders,
If you have your block sonic tested, some times they can be bored as much as .125 safely.

Agree -- have seen it done ... but you HAVE TO sonic check first or the bore job may get wet. TAZ

Finally got the engine and trans set into place.
Steering linkage about ready to put on as well as the manual steering box.
Need to get the exhaust and install it before setting the body back on.

I love how mechanical and how simplistic these old cars are!!!

Lots of forward motivation and little else!!
