We marveled at that build, but Scott had to admit the cylinder walls were paper thin. even he said it was a dyno queen only.Walter R. Malik wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2023 12:31 pmScott Main built a Ford 410 inch engine with an 8.2" deck block for the Engine Masters contest about 18 years ago.

Well, just go a bit smaller than a 4.250" bore on that siamesed Dart block; the engine will still be plenty big.
