One thing leads to another... mean 318?

I was trying to point out not many OE blocks are even close to capable of a .125 overbore and ch’s panties caught fire. I just didn’t want someone to think .125 over was a viable option on almost anything.

BTW...I’m not sure where he got that number. You can calculate power increase from bore size if you know the cylinder pressure etc. I just don’t have that info in front of me, and I’ve never seen that particular math. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Just means I’ve never seen it.

My question was directed @ch1ll though I do appreciate your reply. I certainly get the cylinder displacement issue as well as adding compression and figuring out timing events effects.
(Over rated or general street hot rodding but it does pay nice dividends when you do. AKA - AJ

Id like to know how or where ch1ll received that information and how the math works. It is an interesting though. How does one compare power between stroke and bore increases against each other?
