Excellent, thanks guys.Jay and Brent, really appreciate the technical data. I've been throwing around the idea of using my '62 352 block and boring it to 4.05 (it's 4.03 now) and building a 410 or waiting on a 428 block I'm purchasing from a forum member.He said he'd deliver it to me when he came down this way but it could be a while before that happens.Anyhow, that was kind of my reason for asking the question.
Some of the old 352 blocks have thick cores. It could be taken out to 4.13 bore if it is checked first.
Years ago I think Jim Dove (if I'm not mistaken) wrote an article on building the FE engines. In it he stated that the pre-64 FE blocks were a bit beefier than the later blocks. I mentioned it once and the guru's on FE Fanatics shot me down. So, I don't know if they were or weren't. The only thing I know was I read it from a reputable source I thought at the time.
