Sleeves in a 427 Fe
Some of you have seen my thread about an .080 overbore block I have. It is a 427 Center oiler with two sleeves. The current sleeves have an OD of 4.335. I was wondering if I could just drop 8 new sleeves into this block? Can I basically cut the entire original cylinder out of the engine and put in new sleeves? I thought I saw somewhere that someone had done just that with a 390 and used 427 size sleeves to get the 4.23 bore. Can it be done? Should it be done? Can I get sleeves large enough to use a 4.310 Piston?
