Thread: 283 rebuild

Tweet

There is a way to keep the cubes down while rebuilding with a .030 overbore(standard thingie) taking the TOTAL cubes to 289--------simply sleeve ONE cylinder down to an undersize so the total cubes ain't illegal------


A few overnight questions have come to mind?
Why do you need to keep it at 284 max? Most race type combos are weight to cubes ratio and you might only need to add a few pounds weight?
Don't try to bore a 265 to 283 and supercharge it---The walls won't hold the boost that thin
If you want you could probably get your 283 crand ground .030 undersize at the desired understroke amount
You don't need to $$$$$$$$$$ longer rods-just deck your block the necessary amount-----

Sooooooo, my susgestion at this point is to add weight-------2nd choice, grind destroke your crank and deck block

Please explain what the rules are for your set up

AND IF you are planning on racing this----be prepared to spend thousands $$$$$$ for chassis and safty equipment updates-----
