Would not take a SBC 400 block more than 0.030 over. Not a fan of these siamese blocks personally. Using gauge bore in worn cylinders one can see how they distort in ways 350 blocks do not. Which leads one to wonder how much power is lost by ring blow by.

The 400's that my engine builder built were all honed with a torque plate. I've heard of other folks that built them that DID have problems, not using a torque plate...
My engine builder was/is a sticker for details. Just wish he was still doing regular street type engines. He had some life changing stuff going on about 15 years ago, marital status and other stuff that warranted him to move to to different part of state, and change his business focus. When he was still married, he taught his step son ALL the engine building and machining techniques that we all desire how to do. That step son doesn't even work on engines these days....
