    You say the bore is between 4 and 4 1/4? How close to 4 1/4???? a 427 is 4.23, just under that. If that's what you have, boy, that's a keeper!

    Time to buy a new tape measure if the closest you could figure was somewhere between 4 and 4.25. (or maybe your eyes are like mine )

    Thanks much fellas. I know it is know the bore is not at 4.23, that would be nice but just not my luck. Any ideas on a quality crate engine source?

    That one would be easy to spot with it's cross bolted main caps
