I'm not looking for that kind of compression. I haven't checked to see how
far the pistons come up, but I would be putting 64cc Vortecs on it. Mostly,
I just wondered how well that much overbore would work or if it might cause
overheating due to the thin walls. It is an '82 4 bolt with 4 eyebrow flat
tops. Probably go with a comp 268 or so hydraulic cam, dual plane and
headers. Hoping for about 300 horses and decent torque.

I have a .030 over 350 in my 66. I updated the cooling system to
accommodate
the heating up problem. I used 9.5:1 pistons then used a set of completely
reworked 64cc heads that were shaved to bring the compression ratio to
10.75:1 . I would suggest getting a good radiator preferable aluminum. I'm
sure other people have other opinions. But this combination worked well for
me. I also have an electric fan installed with an override switch for
driving in traffic. The switch bypasses the temp switch leaving the fan run
continuously.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] .060 small block
Hey guys, does anyone have any experience with a .060 350? I have a chance
to pick up a fresh short block for cheap, but I wonder if it will be prone
to overheating. I've never built or ran one .060 over. It would be a mild
build for semi-daily use. Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Brian
