you really cant big bore a teskid block without making it weak. mine was bored 20 over and when i had it done the machinist said that the max you could go is 30 thousandths

Not true, most of the time anything over 30 is going to require the cylinders to be sleaved. Its quite common in aluminum blocks and even the ever so special Teksid.

you really cant big bore a teskid block without making it weak. mine was bored 20 over and when i had it done the machinist said that the max you could go is 30 thousandths. if you are after cubes you should look into MMR's 351r modular block, accepts 2v, 3v, and 4v heads. its 5.8l with the stock 5.4 crank. its on their website (modularmustangracing.com) part #444135.

A Big Bore on a Modular is not just a boring the production block to insanely thin wall specs but actually replacing the cylinder linings with better steel sleeves that can be bored to make a 3.70 bore size or roughly 5.0 liters without adding more stroke to an already long stroke engine.

Teksids are the most common block to do this on.

well then thanks for clearing it up for me. i never looked into doing it, i was merely sharing what i had heard about it, but it is always nice to learn the truth.

Chris at any rate great build cant wait to see it done in person and run it vs. my car. :thumbsup:

also im going to talk to a few people in a day or two about selling my t trim and replacing it with a nice 80mm ball bearing turbo setup so it should be a really good race Dec 2010.
