You can run 4-1/8th bore if you run the M block without sleeves, which is 4-1/8th bore. You will have a ring at the top of the block bore, from the sleeve flange left over. You can do 1 of 2 things in this case, try to run a 450 head gasket, which had a larger fire ring VS the M head gasket, or Keep your M gasket, and have rings made to fill in the gap. Super M blocks had a thick sleeve at 4 inch, which was like the 400-450 sleeve barrel diameter, just thicker cause the small 4 inch bore. 4-1/8 bore sleeves are a thin set and needs a 4.25 bore in the block, to accept the 450 sleeves. The sleeve flange diameter for the SM-450 are pretty big, In my opinion, bigger than what the M block can be machined out to fit them. Or, have the sleeve flanges machined down to fit the M sleeve specs. I do, have a good set of high compression piston set ups that are making pretty good power,,, 574-893-7437, ChadS
