Hi Rick,
It's my understanding that some 2600cc C series engine blocks can tolerate a
2912cc overbore (= std 3000) as a maximum overbore, but you need to have the
'right' block. Weren't there two 2600cc block types - one 'smooth' and one
with external ribbing?
I think you can bore the later 2660cc block with external ribbing, to
2912cc.
You can bore the earlier blocks too - its just that you can't use them after
you've bored them, because 90 % of the time the new bore will be inside the
water jacket.
So - either way - this will be the last overbore the block ever gets....
I'd really do some research before you try this.
:)
Chris
