Preping an AfterMarket Block


If I were to get an aftermarket 351. How much should it cost me to get it bored to 427 capability (4inch bore?) and any other modifications that need to be done if any. If there is what would need to be done? Thanks for the help.

It depends on what they charge in your area. A 427 is either a 4.125 bore x 4.00 stroke or a 4.030 x 4.170 stroke.

you can not bore a 351 to 427

And machines shops vary area to area call and get an estimate

Depends on where I go. The average price to bore and hone cylinders around here is about $150 for a V8.
