408 Stroker Short Block Details: Blueprint Engines

So, it's safe at .030 but not safe at .040? Bull fuckin squat rock!

Lets break this down. .040" is .010" more than .030". That equates to .005" PER side on a round bore. If it's unsafe at .040", it's unsafe at .030. .005" more thickness ain't gonna be appreciably stronger. I would bore that thing .060 and not think twice about it.

Looks like a good alternative to an overpriced crate motor. I would still inspect each and every molecule. But it looks nice.

I agree, I included some of your posts in the past regarding overbore along with others here and elsewhere as well as various Mopar books, even the old one Mopar Performance in factoring in what was sufficient.While Ida preferred a STD bore or up to .030 stroker, the parts, and all the machining, inspection and testing, delivered in a week for $2429 **** me I just couldn't find one but for the Blueprint! :lol:
