Default Re: 3969854 engine block

Yes, but the bore is 4.280", how is it possible on a 396 block?

I'm sorry...guess I didn't understand your first post correctly. I know there are some #854 blocks that will go to 4.250...we have one. But, I've never seen one .30 over that....Could be somebody got carried away and didn't know what they were doing. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

I would suggest double checking the bore size and trying to find a part number on the pistons to confirm the specs...If it truly does have a 4.280 bore...I would have it sonic checked before using it...that thing must have awful thin walls after all that machining.
