361 questions

[TheTecher]

So yesterday I picked up a 361 thinking it was a 383. My question is can it be bored to 4.25, the same size as the 383. And can I install a 440 crank which would bring me up to 426 ci.
thanks

You would need to bore the 361's 4.12 bore to 4.25 for a total of .13 on a overbore.

Can the 361 be overbored .13?
