I wonder what the whole story is on these blocks. What does the rest of the block look like compared to the typical 318 of that era? Main webbing, etc.View attachment 1715905165 Posting pics of something unexpected. This a 318 out of an HD A/W Ramcharger. With a big I cast in the side. I presume for industrial. The major thrust axis of the cylinders are 5/16 inch thick from the top of the deck to the bottom, and there’s less than 1/8 inch between the cylinder walls. Odd find for a hydraulic roller engine.

Well then, it has to be true.It’s going to blow up. I heard this on Facebook.
Yes, everything you read on the net is true, lolIt’s going to blow up. I heard this on Facebook.
The temptation is all too real, but I would want to do beefier man caps and go ahead and take it out to a 4 inch or even larger bore. A lot of advantages to the larger bore size as far as getting more out of larger valves, but there’s a lot more “here and now” ring availability in performance four inch rings in stainless or hellfire rings. The last time hunting for 1/16 inch X 3.94 inch bore set of total seal top rings makes me brow ring selection much differently.Build a 390 out of it
