Still a good idea to Sonic test if you bore anything.

Thanks Mark,

I got this 272 motor for the " G '' heads.  I will just find a 292 block to complete this project.  I am in the Denver area and 292's show up now and then in the classifieds.

Hello Newbie and welcome,If you go down about 16 topics you will see the same question as yours.Regards,Mark

  

I'd recommend a sonic test to be on the safe side. I checked one 292 truck block that was bored too a 312 bore > 3.80 and that was all it could stand. Then there are others that can go bigger, go figure?

maybe, do a search for sonic test . only way to be sure.

I have a good 57 272 block and also a set of 292 +.060 pistons. Will this block safely bore this far to use these pistons?  Anyone see a problem with this setup?

Thanks for all input, this is going in a Hot Rod Edsel!
