460 engine

I was wonderin cause i heard in another discussion you can make a ford 460 a 614? is that possible???

A 512-514 cid is possible...

if you over bore an engine block then that makes the cylinder walls very weak and you end up with a huge paperweight. if you ant more than a 514ci then you need to invest some major money into the project to buy a block big enough to handle that kind of thing.

Ya i didnt think it was possible cause if you bore an engine .80 over it makes the culinder walls pretty thin. i mean thats almost 200 cubic inches more?? i do want the biggest block for my bronco and i know 460 is the biggest. justy wonderin how big you can make it. or if theres a bigger ford block out there

the only bigger blocks I know about are merlin marine racing engines but they are built as a GM format. 700ci 800ci and 1000 ci engines that drop into the place of a 454.

the only blocks i know are the motors that came in the sherman tanks from the 1940s

its a BIG V8 all aluminum motor that ford built is it 1100 cubic inchs
