Taking a poll...351w overbore
I recently picked up a 351w long block that was built by a shop in Montana. The block was supposed to be .030 over, but when I opened it up it was .060 over. I contacted the seller (not the shop that built it) and we're in discussion now on how to resolve this.
I got a real good deal on the engine with a lot of goodies that went along with it, so I don't necessarily want to turn my nose up on the .060. The block is a D4, which is supposed to beefier than the later years so I suppose that should make me feel better, but with little experience in these engines, I hate to rely on my own gut.
So, I'm posing the question to the forum, especially you 351'rs out there, would you be comfortable going .060 on this engine. BTW, I'm planning on 375-400 HP, NA out of the engine. It'll be used as a weekend cruiser, with an occasional cheap thrill. Thanks for any opinions.
