5.0 Ford at .060 over bore??
Question for the blue oval gang. Is it advisable to fill a 5.0 roller block for cylinder stability at .060 over? Gathering info and parts for a fresh bullet.
Thanks in advance. |

Charlie,
I would recommend filling the block. The last one I bored .060" only had about .075" of cylinder wall left. This is easy to measure after you drop a valve. thanks, Roland |

Charlie, my machinest says the 5.0 Ford blocks are fairly weak in the cylinder wall department, so he even Hard Blocked my engine, even at only .030".

I fill everything .030 & up. even if you do a "short fill" that will help.

Re: 5.0 Ford at .060 over bore??
Does that BOSS block accept stock style heads(windsor, gt40, etc.), or does it take a Cleveland Style head?
I wouldn't worry about a stock block at 30 over. I've heard when you start getting over 7000 rpm is where you have trouble, and the block will split. -nothing related to the overbores.
