I did one not long ago, that was 4.4 bore with a .180thick sleeve. id look at 3020-4020 sleeves at 4.25 bore n keep the block web between the cyls as thick as you can so they wont crack between the cyls. 77 rods may or may not take the abuse, look for billet rods.

You know how to get a small fortune?  Start with a big fortune and a race car (pulling tractor) & It won't be long and you will have a small fortune.   Been there done that [Reply]  [No Email]

I would suggest billet rods with only an offset grind, GOOD pistons, valve train, billet cam if you have an extra $1k, billet flywheel.... Just to start.... Not a cheap build... [Reply]  [No Email]

I know of a 310 that has been hard blocked and a little stroke to it, it has a cross flow head, fuel injection, but the timing gear on cam twisted off.... That would get you some good parts, but you really need a billet cam, or it will break again... Email me and I will give you his #. Reding64@gmail.com [Reply]  [No Email]
