someone told me you could bore a 351 out to a 427 and it seemed like a pretty steep bore but i didnt question it too much. but while i was looking through all the posts the highest i saw was 408. so the whole point of my rambling is that i want to know can you punch a 351 out to a 427?

Its not a matter of the bore size, you need a crank, rod and piston to achieve 427 inches in a windsor block

so it is possible? and would it be worth it to just skip the 408 and go up to 427

( not positive on this) but i think the further you stroke the motor the shorter it will run.... Of course you also have to take into consideration the quality of parts, how you break it in, and how you treat it while driving

yeah ive heard that too but for some reason it just sounds like an awesome idea to put an engine that big in a fox and i dont want to deal with a big block
