.080 over 427 center oiler?

alright, I already know the answer to this but is there any way an .080 427 block can work? It has 2 sleeves. It was bored 4.335 to put the sleeves in. I bought it from a good friend who honestly believed it was .040 which was marginal but I thought I could risk it. Now I have verified with Diamond that the pistons are in fact .080. My buddy lives 1000 miles away and I really don't want to deal with shipping this back which he offered to do and give my money back. I really want this to work. It has a 487 stroker kit in it. All the internals are brand new and the engine has never been started. Compression is about 10 to 1 and I wouldn't rev it past 5500 rpms. Any words of encouragement? anything?
