Having said that, considering that I don't drive my car 10,000 miles per year, I kinda wish I did punch it out to 500+ cubes or even the 527 cube max. Worst case scenario, if something bad happens to the engine, then you just re-sleeve the block. The aluminum blocks already have sleeves.
It's only time and money.   |
I understand that you were making a comparison and my reply wasn't pointed in your direction.
With 4.25" bore in a Pond block you still have the ability for 2ea 0.030" bore increases.
I believe pond sleeves are "cast in" the block, not sure how easy it is to resleeve. I hadn't heard (in my limited experience) of anyone resleeving a Shelby or a Pond blockl.
