Thanks for the info machine man. I was always told that the early windsor castings were considered superior due to their strength. Are you saying that this thing can be machined once in it's life, but not twice? I've put perhaps 10K miles on it since it's total rebuild, so it should be in pretty good shape. The cylinders were taken out .030.

In any event, your engines look like they are in a different ballpark that what I'm looking for. $10,000 is a little rich for my blood. I am not looking for 500HP. Just a mild, streetable motor. I primarily would like it stroked over 400 cubes to keep it in the displacement ballpark of the original 427 S/C. I was hoping I could invest perhaps 2K or 3K into one of my existing engines. Is this a fantasy?
