That's what I thought.... I didn't want to tell him not to and then the first time he starts it up "clank, crack, boom."

Finding cubic inch for an engine formula is : bore x bore x stroke x .7854 x number of cylinders
example 4.03 x 4.03 x 3.25 x .7854 x 8= 331.65

You don't have to notch the block on a 331 its close and is recommended but is not needed
