Reply to "Boring 351C"

As was said, do not even think about boring a 351-Cleveland (or a 351-Windsor, either!) without sonic testing for wall thickness! The finished thrust surface should be a minimum of 0.100 thick especially if you pump up the power. More power needs more wall thickness. In a similar engine (the big-block Chevy), builders get nervous when their wall thicknesses get to 0.200"; no Cleveland ever had such thick walls except maybe the rare race blocks. Good luck.
