Has anyone successfully bored a 318 to 4.04?
I just built on over the winter. Used a 69 block for ma 69 coronet with 29,000 miles.
Early j heads 2.02/1.60 valve ported to the max, 565 lift cam 295/315 duration. stock cast crank 340 rods and KB243 pistons. have just over $1400 into the short block assembled and heads redone.
The machinist said there's still meat left(not for boring) motor will run hotter than normal, so I am going with an aluminum radiator.
The motors going in a 73 valiant I just picked up with 71,000 miles.
I just did it because of a the naysayers!!
