Hitting on all eight cylinders Group: Forum Members Last Active: Last Year Posts: 4, Visits: 406	reading this page leads me to believe to get 310 out of a 272 (3.62") bore it out to a 292 (3.75") and use a 312 crankshaft thats machined to get a 3.51" stroke. xupadito (8/12/2012) Does anybody know if i can use one of these size of pistons on a 272 Y-block? 3.81" +.060 from 292 CID 3.86" +.060 from 312 CID I`ve seen a stroker kit called "310 cu in kit for 272 blocks" and I`m trying to figure out what the trick is Thanks For some people there's therapy - for the rest of us there are choppers Rich in Nashville

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Checking the thickness when rebuilding is by far the best way to determine how far you can bore. You'll find that John Mumert and Ted Eaton are amongst the best sources for Y block parts, information and machining. They are both members of this forum. cheers Warren Grizzly (Aussie Mainline)

Just to clarify my previous reply! Stroker kit will get you 310, but in answering your orig query, you asked if "3.81" +.060 from 292 CID 3.86" +.060 from 312 CID would go in 272 block i havent seen a 272 go past 292 bore regardless of sonic testing without potential problems and is not recommended in my expeirence. ?
